Strategies for Engaging Parents in Home Support of Reading Acquisition
Darling, Sharon
Reading Teacher, v58 n5 p476-479 Feb 2005
The author asserts that "Children benefit when teachers and parents reinforce the same concepts and ideas. For this to happen, teachers and parents must have some knowledge of what happens in the classroom and what happens at home that support reading acquisition." In this article, the author describes several strategies that teachers can share with parents to involve them in supporting reading instruction. The strategies focus on phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, concepts of print, and writing.
