topic: Elementary School Parents

10-second review: Prepare parents to use specific activities with their children. Introduce, model and briefly practice. Then use at home. 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 and tries to read back what the parent has written. RayS.
