Programs
Families Building Better Readers
Families Building Better Readers (FBBR) is an innovative family literacy workshop. More than just teaching parents about reading, FBBR demonstrates ways parents can help their children get the most out of reading practice at home. FBBR is delivered with fun and humor because we understand that creating a positive attitude toward learning is critical to keeping parents involved.
