Yenda Prado

Ed.M. L&L '05

I'll be working as a Bilingual Family Literacy Specialist for Grail Family Services in San Jose California. Grail is a social service agency which serves low-income, primarily Spanish speaking individuals. Grail is trying to add a literacy component to the program offerings. I'll be working on improving their children's library, "Read To Me" early literacy program, and a mother's discussion group.

It makes me so happy to know that I'll be working with an organization where I'll be able to use everything I learned this past year! I really believe that if it wasn't for the knowledge I gained during my year in the L&L program I wouldn't have done as well during my interviews. I also think that the combination of courses I took this past year is perfect for what I'll be doing.
