The Florida Family Literacy Initiative

"The purpose of our Family Literacy Initiative is to establish literacy as a value in every family. I believe that by helping every family in the state to understand that the home is the child's first school, the parent is the child's first teacher, and reading is the child's first subject, that we will do more to dramatically improve our educational system than any test will ever measure."
-- Former Governor Jeb Bush

In Florida, Jeb Bush has made education and strengthening families a top priority, beginning with this initiative in family literacy - aiding programs that encompass reading, math, and life and parenting skills, help individuals earn their GEDs, and help children start school ready to learn.
