Forum addresses Latino language barrier - Oakland

“Latino families often face struggles and demanding challenges teaching their children reading skills. Language barriers and economic factors often discourage families from engaging in reading activities with their kids.

On Tuesday, Lee y seras, a national Latino early literacy initiative, and the Unity Council gathered more than 80 parents and teachers to brainstorm how to break down different walls that may impede the progress of young children reading.

Parents like Jesus Vazquez and Noemi Olivarez recognize the importance of stressing reading to their two daughters, ages 3 and 6.”
