Hi Gina,
A couple of great online resources (complete with free handouts) are
www.ed.gov, - click on "Parents." Here you'll find information for parents
supporting their children's literacy efforts. Also - www.firstgov.gov - on
this site go to the "By Audience" heading at the bottom of the home page and
click on "Parents." Here you'll find lots of parenting tip sheets for
parents with children of all ages. Hope this helps! 

Others out there - what are your suggestions for parenting resources?

I am new to this list and I am not sure if I am posting properly.  I teach
in a small rural prison in southern Delaware.  I will be taking part in a
pilot family literacy program.  I will,  most likely, be teaching a class to
the fathers (inmate/students) as they prepare for family visits.  We are
working with a local adult education program.  They will provide the
programming for the mother/care-giver and the child.  
The fathers are already in ABE/GED programs, but I am seeking
recommendations or suggestions for the parenting class that I will most
likely teach.  
Please send me suggestions, resouces, websites.... 
Thanks in advance
