The Centre for Family Literacy provides a wide range of adult and family literacy programs in Edmonton, as well as training, resources, information and awareness across Alberta and Canada. Working with numerous partners and community agencies, the Centre serves more than 6,600 Albertans every year. Literacy is clearly linked to education, employment, income levels, health and involvement in the criminal justice system. There is also a tendency for low literacy levels to be repeated from one generation to the next. Through family literacy programs, all parents – even those with lower literacy skills – can provide their children with the early language and literacy activities essential to success in school. At the same time, parents often improve their own literacy skills through these programs and go on to other upgrading programs.
