“The goal of the program is to use writing in the form of memoirs, stories and poems
to unite QUEST grandmothers, mothers, and children,” says Judy Atchinson,
executive director of QUEST.
But Atchinson notes that for the program’s participants, the benefits extend beyond
better reading skills. Three Generation members also develop computer skills, as well
as cooperative skills that can translate to today’s job market.

It’s hard to read too deeply into the importance of
literacy skills. Children who are strong readers tend to
perform better in school and have brighter futures--
and when entire families work together to build those
skills, the sky’s the limit.
That’s the idea behind QUEST’s new Three
Generations Literacy program. The initiative brings
children, their parents and grandparents together to
write, design and publish their own children’s books.

That’s the idea behind QUEST’s new Three
Generations Literacy program. The initiative brings

New York State Sen. Hugh T. Farley secured a $3,500 grant to help fund Three
Generations, allowing QUEST to purchase the computers and other technology the
initiative requires.
“QUEST’s literacy program is an exciting project,” says Farley. “In addition to helping
children learn to read and write, this program helps support and strengthen family
connections.”
It’s a benefit that Lateepha Hoating, who has been involved with QUEST for nine years,
says is vitally important.
“Families can come here to safely spend time together,” she says. “We all know we can
depend on this program. It’s somewhere to go to relieve stress; a place that helps us
believe we can make it and shows that there’s hope out there.”
