We have a program called Parents' Part in which parent and child pairs meet for six week, two times a week learning basic word processing skills and using early literacy software. This weekend we are doing an open house at our facility in conjunction with a local school. In order to give parent and child a bit of exposure to what we do in our family literacy programs, we are setting up "stations" for each pair to go to. At one station there will be a book read and children must answer questions regarding what they heard. At another, we will have Reader Rabbit loaded on the computer and they will complete one letter land. We will have a station that the parent will have to ask their child a "journal" question and the parent will be responsible for doing some formatting on the computer with their child's response. Several more stations will also be staffed with volunteers to help with instruction. After a task is completed, they will "earn" literacy dollars in order to purchase books to continue their interest in learning in the home. Our hope is that in this short time, we will expose the children and parents to the things that DCLC has to offer. They will have the opportunity to sign up for a Parents' Part class at this time and they also learn that the family learning computer lab is open to them to use independently. This is the first open house of this kind that we have done although we are modeling after another that was done at a local community center. If you have further questions regarding our program, please feel free to contact me privately. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
