A second grade teacher, that I know, used the book Freckle Juice to demonstrate Literature Circles so parents would be familiar with the terms their children used. She also used this book to demonstrate graphic organizers. The parents really got excited about story mapping to help with comprehension. Other teachers shared read aloud strategies. However, the real key to participation was having parents try the techniques and discuss how and why they should use them with their children. It is also important that your Family Literacy Night not be a one time event.
