Family Literacy Nights

Family Literacy Nights are an excellent way to engage parents and provide ideas for them to support their child's learning.

Purposes of family literacy events: 

• To provide parents ways to support their child's reading & writing growth 

• To help parents partner with teachers to strengthen their child's learning

• To build positive relationships between schools and families.

Ideas for author presentations during family literacy events:

• Presentation: Step up Reading Time to build your child's reading & writing growth (up to grade 3)

  • Author will share a variety ways to engage children while reading to strengthen literacy skills (e.g., vocabulary, background knowledge, comprehension, visualization, writing). 

  • Presentation will include strategies for reading with kids who "won't sit still," a frequent concern of parents.

• Interactive reading session followed by author question/answer time (grades pre-school - 3) 

• Interactive reading followed by an author-led writing activity (grades K-5 with parents supporting younger students)
