Motheread®, Inc. is a nationally acclaimed private, non-profit organization that combines the teaching of literacy skills with child development and family empowerment issues.
The Institute is based on a curriculum and approach for teaching literacy skills to adults. It uses children’s books and adult poems/narratives as the basis for instruction.
B.A.B.Y. is a 21-lesson program that uses carefully selected multicultural children’s books to initiate discussion and health information sessions for expectant and new parents.
F.a.t.h.e.r. is a parenting curriculum for use with incarcerated men. The lessons are designed to be used by a highly diverse group of inmate fathers—from young fathers to older fathers, expectant fathers to those who have grown children, those going home soon to those incarcerated for years, those with frequent contact with their children to those who rarely see their children.
In light of current pressures to teach non-English speaking families about civic rights and responsibilities, Motheread®, Inc. has developed a compelling approach to accomplish this. The My United States® curriculum helps students develop a personal perspective and context for learning about history, government, and community life.
The Story Exploring training is based on the Motheread® multicultural Story Exploring curriculum. This curriculum is designed for use with children ages birth through 11.
Launched in June 2003 to address the problem of low-literacy, Literacy@Work was an innovative public/private partnership of organizations dedicated to the advancement of workforce literacy.
