Family Literacy Workshops
Engaging, district-supported events that connect families to literacy learning in meaningful and fun ways.
Family Literacy Workshops are at the heart of Learning Lighthouse’s mission to strengthen the home-school connection. These interactive, school-hosted events give caregivers practical tools to support their children’s reading and writing development—while creating joyful, shared learning experiences for families.

Laying the Foundation for Lifelong Literacy
For our youngest learners, early family involvement is critical. Our workshops for early and primary education focus on helping caregivers:
Understand key developmental stages of reading and language
Use interactive strategies such as shared reading, phonemic awareness games, and vocabulary-building activities
Build literacy-rich environments at home
Foster a love of reading from the very beginning
Caregivers leave with practical tools and take-home materials they can use immediately to support foundational literacy skills.
Early & Primary Education focus:
Adolescent learners focus:
Engaging Families to Support Reading and Writing Beyond the Early Years
As students grow, family engagement remains essential—but it evolves. Our adolescent-focused workshops are designed to help families:
Encourage reading and writing for older students through interest-based materials
Understand how literacy connects to academic success across subjects
Communicate effectively with teens about school and learning
Support study skills, organization, and academic confidence
These sessions provide caregivers with resources and strategies that reflect the developmental needs of middle and high school students, reinforcing the importance of continued support at home.
