Aboriginal PRINTS is a family literacy program that explores the many ways in which parents can support their children’s literacy development. APRINTS explores the importance of Aboriginal culture and values and the ways in which families can respect and honour their culture.

The Aboriginal PRINTS program attempts to engage parents by helping them:
• value and explore their Aboriginal heritage;
• understand and become aware of their own strengths as parents;
• understand their vital role in their children’s learning;
• make links between aspects of traditional Aboriginal culture and their children’s literacy development;
• create a literacy-rich environment within their homes and engage their children in literacy activities on a regular basis; and
• create stronger relationships with their children through the sharing of literacy and culture.

Length of facilitator training: one-day Introduction to Family Literacy (Feb. 20) and two days APRINTS (Feb. 21 and 22)

Cost: $300. Please register early as space is limited.
