THE FIRST LADY'S FAMILY LITERACY INITIATIVE FOR TEXAS
A PROGRAM OF THE BARBARA BUSH TEXAS FUND for FAMILY LITERACY
GRANTS AVAILABLE
The 2002 grant applications for The First Lady's Family Literacy Initiative
for Texas, a program of The Barbara Bush Texas Fund for Family Literacy,
will be available Feb. l, 2002. This statewide initiative is a partnership
of our nation's First Lady, Laura Bush, who serves as Honorary Chair, The
Barbara Bush Texas Fund, and the Texas Family Literacy Center. These grants
of up to $25,000 each are given on a one-time basis to expand existing
instructional programs that may currently be working with just one
generation, i.e. children, so that a complete family literacy program, which
includes parents and children learning and reading together, can be created,
replicated, or expanded. It is not expected that this grant will suffice to
fund all components of the proposed family literacy program.
Successful family literacy applications include reading instruction for
parents or primary caregivers, reading or pre-reading activities for their
children, and adult/child reading time and interaction.
