This site truly has lots of brochures and information; I've ordered from it
before and just recently ordered additional material for our program. Thanks
Gail for mentioning the site to us all.

"It's not the honors or the titles or the power that is of ultimate
importance; it's what resides inside." Fred Rogers

The two most important ingredients of education are: knowing that we're
valued, and being in the presence of people who want to share with us
something of this world that they love. It's a beautiful day in the
neighborhood of WJCT!

Subject: [FamilyLiteracy 1131] Free Parents' Guide from USDOE

 

The following announcement appeared in the PEN Weekly Newsblast. I took a
quick look at the Web site and browsed through the offerings. I thought you
might be interested in taking a look. The site offers all the brochures and
information in PDF form, but also gives the EdPubs address if you would like
to order hard copies to hand out to parents. You will need to call if you
want to order more than 100 copies -- however, shipping is free. Take a look
for yourselves.

 

Free Parents' Guide from the U.S. Department of Education

The U. S. Department of Education has developed a publication, "Empowering
Parents School Box: A Tool To Equip Parents For the School Year," that it is
distributing free of charge. The school box contains three booklets: What
Parents Need to Know, Taking a Closer Look, and Learning Checklists; a
brochure: Examples of Resources; a poster: Empowered Parents Stay Involved
With School; a bookmark; and a door hanger. The school box provides tips on
working with children from birth to high school; guidelines for taking
advantage of free tutoring opportunities; steps for selecting a high-quality
school; ways to get involved in children's schools; information about
financial aid and scholarships; and resources for improving learning. It also
includes success stories of schools where parent involvement made a
difference.
