Subject: [FamilyLiteracy 531] Re: Motivating Parents To Read To
TheirChildren

 

Our center is part of the Read to Succeed grant under the Dept. of Ed.
We have 3 yearly Family Literacy Events where we serve dinner to our
families, offer door prizes and also have a workshop with literacy
related topics such as the importance of reading aloud to their children
from infants on up to school-agers.  We also give each child a good book
to keep.  We have had good response to these workshops and appreciative
comments on evaluation forms.

Before Christmas, I asked if there were any topics of interest or any
questions that you had for the List. I know that was a busy, winding
down for the holidays, so the responses were a little meager. I did,
however, hear from a couple of subscribers-one who had three items
listed that she would like to learn more about and one who had some
thoughts about research relating to parent/child interactive activities.
My response to these subscribers is a bit overdue, so I thought perhaps
focusing on each separately might garner a little more response for each
of their thoughts and requests. 

 

So, on behalf of Sara Mansbach, please respond to the following:

I would be interested in learning about motivating parents to read to
their newborn to 4 year old children-what works, what doesn't.
