I am interested in learning  how  Family Lit programs have partnered with
their school districts to enhance reading instruction for parents and their
children. I am particularly curious to learn if any one has used the
Waterford Early Reading Program, a computer based program aimed at the
emergent reader at the kindergarten and first grade level in conjunction
with their parents who are also novice readers. I teach in a family ESL
literacy program in Fairfax Co., VA .Many of the parents in my program are
not literate or have low literacy skills in their first language. The K-12
program offers a wide range of programs in our elementary schools, such as
Reading Recovery, Partners in Print and the Waterford Early Reading Program.
I would be interested to know if anyone has used these programs (or any
others) to provide reading instruction to the parents of the children
involved in their programs.
Thanks for your info.
Pat Bowyer
