Reading for Success:

Engaging Parents in Your Literacy Program

Research proves that parents working with their children on reading greatly improves reading skills and comprehension!

This 175+ page resource kit (available in English and Spanish) has everything you need to engage parents in their children's reading education! Designed to complement any existing reading program, the kit doesn’t try to teach reading. Rather, it reminds parents that reading to and with their children at home has a powerful positive effect on student success now and into the future. With this kit, schools can motivate parents to stay involved in reading throughout the year by hosting Literacy Nights and Back-to-School Events, Parent-Teacher Meetings, and more with a strong parent engagement reading component!

The kit is appropriate for all elementary grades and contains:

Two ways to present! Conduct your own parent reading workshops, or show the videos at conferences, in the school office, before school events, on the website, as part of other reading/parent meetings, etc. Parents will learn ways to stimulate their child’s interest in reading at home and ideas for giving their children the vital reading foundation needed for success!
 
  • Use the 10-minute enhanced PowerPoint® presentation and script to conduct a workshop at your own pace, focusing on what all parents need to know about reading and be reminded of frequently.
  • Or just pop in this 10-minute DVD for a professionally narrated video presentation depicting parents in an enriched home learning environment reading to and with their children.
 

Over 25 parent handouts! You can use these handouts all year long to keep parents engaged in the reading education of their children. The handouts provide specific ideas to parents of beginning readers and intermediate readers to help with common reading topics and concerns such as:
