Check out the LEP Parent Involvement Project at:
 
http://mnabe.themlc.org/Parent_Involvement_Project.html There is a line
between Parent and Involvement, and Involvement and Project but I can't
get my computer to cooperate.

I am interested in  finding out what materials and methods adult esl
instructors have used to  help their nonliterate/preliterate adult
students (who are
parents)  support the emergent literacy skills of their own children? I
realize this  may seem a post for the family literacy discussion group
(and will post  there as well) - but I would like like to gather
information from as many  sources as possible.  

Dear Kathleen,
You really should check out the ***www.spelling.org*** website.  The
AVKO Foundation even offers FREE Lesson plans for the teaching of
parents in how  to help their children who have reading and spelling
problems.  It also has  FREE a curriculum for both adults and children
that teaches handwriting (manuscript and cursive), keyboarding, reading,
and spelling AS it methodically teaches the alphabet and the sounds of
the letters as they occur regularly  in patterns.
