Pennsylvania State University

Program Details

Enroll in online literacy programs and advance professional opportunities. Literacy and its importance cannot be overstated. A person’s literary journey starts early in life and depends on instruction from parents and caregivers. With this degree, you will explore issues related to family literacy focusing on a two-generation structure.  

The curriculum examines the key components of family literacy, including:

  • Children’s language and literacy development
  • How adult education relates to their needs and roles in life
  • Strengthening and enhancing parents’ knowledge of their roles as children’s first teachers
  • Engaging in interactive literacy activities with children

Study when and where it is convenient in courses taught by the same faculty who teach on campus without stepping foot on campus. As long as there is internet access, your classroom can be anywhere.
