The Parent-Child Reading System, a way of organizing instructional materials for reading so that parents can become continuously involved in helping to improve their children's reading abilities, may be used in connection with family learning center (FLC) workshops, in schools, or in institutions maintaining contact with schools. This document, acting as a bridge between the theoretical diagnosis of the child's reading needs and the instructional material necessary, tells the parent and the FLC specialist what materials to pull from the resource file. Only one of these manuals is needed for each FLC site. (JM)
