Meet Diana (left) and Lupe (right)! They are Literacy Heroes!
These 2 women are very dedicated to improving their English skills in order to help their children succeed in school. They both attended Blacksburg's Fall 2019 Family READS (Reading and English to Achieve Dreams and Success) Program. They increased their focus on reading and teaching their children in English. They even made up "English homework" for their children! They sought out additional ways to increase their English skills and attended LVNRV's English classes and conversation group each week. Their children attended these classes with their moms and learned too! Recently, Lupe and Diana mustered the courage to deliver a speech in English in front of a group of 80 people to express gratitude for the English language learning opportunities!
