LLF programs link home, school, and community. Parents learn to use what they already know to stimulate children’s excitement about learning. Skill development in visual literacy is the underpinning of most LLF programs.

Parents, particularly parents with limited academic achievement, often do not appreciate  the strengths they can bring to supporting their children’s education.

• Their sense of beauty.
• Their knowledge of their surroundings.
• Their knowledge of their culture and heritage.
• Their work skills and work habits.
• Their own experiences and childhood stories.

LLF programs help parents develop new skills, and teachers and parenting specialists develop new insights to enrich programs and to support parent participation in children’s education.
