Preschool Teacher Teaches Father to Read and Write: ‘It Doesn’t Matter How Young You Are, You Could Teach Someone’

Lucy Flores, a preschool 🍎Teacher from California, is also teaching her father how to read and write.

“I was thinking to myself, I’m able to teach these children how to read and write, why am I not teaching my own father how to read and write?” Lucy Flores told “Good Morning America.”

She said she started working with her father on his writing and letters for “three to four months now.”

Luciano Flores, Lucy Flores’ father, is originally from Mexico. He moved to the United States with Lucy and her three other siblings when she was only three years old.

As a child, Luciano Flores only completed the first grade so that he could start working to provide for his 👨‍👩‍👧Family.

When Luciano Flores moved to the United States he began working in construction, which according to Lucy Flores didn’t really require reading and writing skills.

“Because he worked in construction, it’s not something where you have to sign things, and it’s more math, which he’s really good at,” she said.

Lucy Flores told “Good Morning America” that her father said that “he didn’t even tell his friends or anyone around him that he didn’t have this ability” to read and write and that’s how he “got by.”
