Topic: Parents

Elementary School

10-second review: Prepare parents to use specific activities with their children. Introduce, model and briefly practice with them. Then they use at home. Parents discuss what happened.

Comment: Excellent idea. Most parents know that they should read to and with their children. What about writing? Parents of young children could start with language experience. Child dictates story to parent who records it and child tries to read back what was written. RayS.
