MOTHEREAD/FATHEREAD-CNMI is an innovative literacy program that helps families discover the power of children's literature. MOTHEREAD/FATHEREAD-CNMI uses outstanding multicultural children's literature to help both parents and children improve reading skills, build critical thinking ability, and talk about challenging family issues.Parents in MOTHEREAD/FATHEREAD-CNMI's adult sessions use literature as a spring-board for discussion of a wide range of serious issues, such as financial and emotional stress, racial prejudice, and choices in disciplining children. Children take part in separate Storysharing sessions in which they learn to approach books as companions and sources of inspiration through creative games,, artwork, and role playing. MOTHEREAD/FATHEREAD-CNMI's curriculum includes longtime children's classics such as Where the Wild Things Are and The Runaway Bunny, Wings, Ferdinand, Mother Tell Me a Story, as well as newer titles that feature African American, Native American and Asian, myths and themes. Together, through the MOTHEREAD/FATHEREAD-CNMI program, adults and children--regardless of formal educational background or economic situation--are making thoughtful discussion about stories a family priority. The program has introduced an enriching humanities-based component to many Saipan organization's existing family education programs. The MOTHEREAD/FATHEREAD approach was first developed in 1987 by North Carolina literacy specialist Nancye Gaj, who continues to operate MOTHEREAD, INC. in Raleigh, NC. MOTHEREAD/FATHEREAD-CNMI was initiated by the Saipan Humanities Council in October 1998. More questions? Please click here Local activity Certificate Day! (Sept. 11, 1999)
