Migrant Education Family Biliteracy Program

The primary goals of the FBP for preschool age-children are to:

1. Engage the migrant family into the school community by valuing the cultural and linguistic assets the family possesses
2. Integrate the family unit into the educational experience by utilizing the family’s first language to teach and model literacy strategies that families may replicate at home in the absence of the teacher
3. Incorporate an adult/parenting education component that builds awareness about the value of biliteracy and other school practices
