Family literacy program offers grants

The National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) is seeking five school districts to receive an award of $600,000 to implement the Toyota Family Literacy Program, which currently serves 45 elementary schools in 15 cities throughout the United States. The direct funding for the school districts that are selected will allow for support, training, education materials, and assistance from NCFL to implement the program for students in kindergarten through third grade.
