We do Family Literacy Bags for our Head Start program.  About half of these
families are native Spanish speakers.  We utilize translators and give the
Spanish speakers the same material that the English speakers receive.  The
high school Spanish teacher might be able to help, or the advanced Spanish
students.

Subject: [FamilyLiteracy] Family Literacy Bags

 

  We are currently providing Family Literacy Bags for every preschooler in
our public school system. We have a very small Latino population. I would
like very much to supply bilingual bags for this population, but have
limited resources. I would like ideas for bags for Spanish speaking families
and any input from anyone who has created Family Literacy Bags or is in an
area where they are used.

   We are considering opening up funding to K through 3rd grade teachers in
the public school system as well as the public library and child care
centers for creating their own Family Literacy Bags. I was wondering if
anyone has experience in using a grant process for funding the creation of
Family Literacy Bags. Please share!

THANK YOU!

 

Peace,
