Writing with Families

Hello folks,


   I would love to have an opportunity to talk with (via phone, email or in person) parents and guardians of students in my classes regarding Literacy.   Colleagues of mine at other schools have held "Family Literacy Night" in the past.  At "Family Literacy Night", our board's Literacy policy (Balanced Literacy) is discussed.  Families get to participate in activities, to learn, hands-on, about the way their children are learning to be effective readers, writers and thinkers.

Please contact me (you can leave a comment here) to let me know if this would be helpful for you and your family!

If you are interested in learning more about Balanced Literacy, Mrs. Stewart from New York created a summary of many of the basic concepts of this philosophy.
