Families at School: A Guide for Educators, Vol. 1

This hands-on guide shows how parents and children use literacy to strengthen their reading and writing abilities while building stronger family relationships. It includes background information on family literacy, suggestions for establishing a family literacy program and ideas about program structure. You'll also find sample lesson plans, a list of recommended books and resources, suggested classroom activities, examples of parents' work, and numerous student handouts. Drawn from the authors' experience of what works with parents, these ideas can be adapted for use in many program settings.
