Parents as partners (Facebook Post)

The Northern Kentucky Education Council’s One to One Parents as Partners program has rescheduled its free literacy training for parents and guardians of 2nd and 3rd grade students enrolled in Covington, Newport, Dayton, and Southgate Independent Schools.

The Parents as Partners Program is a series of four training sessions that provide families with resources to assist their children in reading.

“We know that there is a clear connection between a parent’s involvement in practicing reading with their child and their child’s success in school,” said Polly Lusk Page, director of One to One.

Gateway Community & Technical College and Newport Independent Schools worked with NKEC to reschedule the trainings.

“We look forward to sharing effective reading strategies and resources with parents and guardians and helping them become their child’s reading superhero in 2022,” Page said.
