We often struggle with getting parents to become involved in their child's education. Below are some suggestions and a resource to empower parents by giving them ideas of ways to interact with their children and to build and reinforce literacy in the home.
•Invite your child to read with you daily
•Read your child’s favorite book over and over
•Discuss new words
•Stop and ask your child what is happening in the story or what they think might happen next.
•Read from a variety of different kinds of children’s books such as: informational books, fairy tails, magazines, fiction.
•Let your child see you read and write for different purposes
•Make a grocery list together
•Label things in the home and hang them up…door, sink, computer
