Even Start

Even Start is a federally funded program that focuses on literacy services for families at risk and children ages birth through seven whose parents are eligible for adult education. Currently there are 33 counties that offer adult education, parent education and support, and early child development. You can get grants for the program through the Department of Education. This is good for parents who maybe did not finish college and maybe struggle helping their children with their homework. This can also expand learning abilities. To me reading is very important, that is something that I would like my own child to be passionate about. To get more information all you need to do is be aware and contact the local Department of Education and they can tell you how to apply and assist you in anyway they can.
