Families
Learning and Understanding English Together (FLUENT) Act of 2020
The
Families Learning and Understanding English Together (FLUENT) Act of 2020 aims
to improve the educational, social, economic advancement, and employability
skills of families with English language learners in need of literacy skills by
expanding and enhancing family literacy services.
Recognizing
that parents have a powerful influence on their children’s success, family
literacy programs work to enhance the literacy strengths of the family while
also addressing their needs.
═════════►
The
FLUENT Act authorizes a program that awards grants to family literacy providers
for family literacy programs aimed at English learners. The grant program it
creates aims to serve the hardest-to-reach populations, including those with
the greatest economic and social needs, and integrates all of the following
activities:
➧ Interactive
literacy activities between parents and their children.
➧ Training
for parents regarding how to be the primary teacher for their
children and full
partners in the education of their children.
➧ Parent
literacy training that leads to economic self-sufficiency.
➧ An
age-appropriate education to prepare children for success in school and life
experiences.
The
National Center for Families Learning (NCFL) is calling on our partner
organizations to endorse this bill. We ask that your organization consider
sending an indication of support to Mr. Matthew Bryant at Matthew.Bryant@mail.house.gov by
Wednesday, May 20. We thank you for supporting families with English language
learners throughout our country. READ MORE ➤➤
