The more I head through the Masters Program, the more convinced I am that working with families is crucial to education-- Viewing the student as simply a student, to me, is a disservice to that child. Literacy begins in the home which informs and enhances the classroom experience. I think it’s necessary not only to ‘work” with parents, but also to understand and acknowledge that the family offers the best and most valuable educational experience a child can have—especially in literacy. To teach a child reading depends on family interaction.

And now, for an interesting idea to encourage family literacy!!!!
