Imua Literacy: Moving Hawaiʻi forward with local solutions.
"Moving Hawaiʻi forward with local solutions." Imua Literacy is a podcast dedicated to moving Hawaiʻi forward with local literacy solutions. Our hope as writers of the Hawaiʻi State Literacy Plan (2020) is to create a platform where we can highlight some of the obstacles in literacy from keiki to kūpuna that our families, schools, and communities face by tapping on to the resources we have right here in Hawaiʻi.

How can we build this bridge from school to home in a way that can be relevant to the world that families live in today? Family Resource Centers (FRC) are one way to promote family engagement that promotes a “shared partnership” that can enhance students’ language and literacy learning.
In today's episode, we get to learn from Mrs. Fuli Soa, the facilitator of the FRC of Waimanalo, which has become an example of what truly is possible for FRCs in our schools. Mrs. Soa has proven that FRCs can be flexible, family-focused, culturally sensitive hubs of support and resources that families actually WANT to tap into!
