Family Literacy
Raising Readers ● Math Thinkers ● As a Community is Dartmouth Learning Network's signature programming for parents of children aged birth to five years old. Grounded in research, Raising Readers ● Math Thinkers ● As a Community provides parents with the skills, knowledge and practical tools that they need to Raise Readers & Math Thinkers. Our approach is to make learning fun, affordable and easy to incorporate into the daily routines of busy families.
Raising Readers ● Math Thinkers ● As a Community is delivered as a workshop series for parents and/or parents and children in partnership with family resource centres in the Dartmouth area. We are also working to make our resources readily available to you online so please continue to check our site for new resources and tools.
