How Difficult Can This Be?

Family Literacy Center offers a FREE workshop to help you better understand learning disabilities and gain techniques to help your child. “How Difficult Can This Be” is a 90 minute DVD created by Richard Lavoie, educator, administrator, author, and consultant.  This nationally known expert on learning disabilities will take us on a journey of discovery through his workshop called, “F.A.T. City”.  We will experience first hand the “Frustration, Anxiety, and Tension”

For kids with learning disabilities, the classroom can be an intimidating pace.  Richard D. Lavoie shows why.  He leads a group of parents, educators, psychologists, and children through a series of exercises that cause frustration, anxiety, and tension…feeling all too familiar to children with learning disabilities. By dramatizing the classroom experience so vividly, Lavoie lets us see the world through the eyes of a child.  At the end of the workshop, participants discuss strategies for working more effectively with learning disabled children.

Thanks to our partnership with the Lapeer District Library and other funders, we were able to offer Playgroups for families with young children. This program targets children from birth to age 5 and their parents. At playgroups, we facilitate learning and developmental activities while having fun. The program includes activities in a structured and predictable manner which help develop critical skills for young children. This group meets once a week for six weeks. Spots fill up fast so register today!

Kindergarten Readiness was a new program we offered in 2009 funded through a Great Parents and Great Start Lapeer grant. This program offers information, instructional materials and books to 4 and 5 year olds preparing for kindergarten and their parents. Families were able to try out activities which demonstrate if a child has critical school readiness skills. Parent evaluations were extremely positive for this pilot program, and we hope to be able to offer this program long into the future.
