The home–school connection is important to student literacy achievement. However, it can be time-consuming to develop and implement programming that keeps families engaged and involved. Empowering Families makes it easier to accomplish these goals! Chock-full of step-by-step plans for arranging a variety of parent/caregiver meetings and literacy booster events, the book enables educators to get families involved in their children’s learning in ways that are fun and non-intimidating. The book includes ready-to-use handouts for your events, such as announcement sheets, follow-up evaluations, and tip sheets that describe ways parents can reinforce literacy at home.
