Assignment #1  Family Literacy Night Plan

I will attach samples

Engaging families in reading activities that help promote at-home reading opportunities and provide support for all students is a critical part of the child’s reading experiences. Reading/Literacy specialists are often tasked with planning schoolwide activities to get families involved in their child’s literacy learning.

Your principal has asked you to assist in planning a schoolwide family literacy night that will provide families with strategies and resources enabling them to become involved in their child’s literacy development.

First, create a 100-250\-word flyer that describes the Family Literacy Night, including at least three activities families can expect to participate in at the event.

2 assignments for $100-- I will begin working on the other one we did not complete and send you the as much complete info in the document for you to complete standards and instruction and you can critique

Following the flyer, create a 250-500 word handout for families to take home. This will provide them with strategies and resources to support their child’s literacy development at the elementary level.

The handout should include:

Importance of establishing a home-school connection. 

Two research-based strategies for each of the five essential components of literacy that can be  implemented at home.

At least two strategies that can be done at home to support writing development.

At least three online resources families can use to support their student’s literacy development at             home.

Today, Monday, May 17th, we pulled 15 students to test inside her class room. All of these students required oral administration on the math section. Since I am a certified teacher and I have received training on how to administer the test, I was able to read the test directions and proctor with her. Prior to students coming in, parents were notified of the dates students needed to report in person to take their state test. Parents also had to option to opt their students our of completing the test. The day before students reported to school parents were sent an email along with a phone call about the details of their students schedule. There was also a post on social media for parents as well. During the course of a regular school year, she stated that she would have called her bottom tier students’ parents and scheduled a in person meeting for them to see first-hand where there students are at, ideas on how they can assist them at home and a details data print off from iReady explaining their area/areas of weakness and resources that students have access to via their MacBook. At the beginning of the school year parents are given contact information via the English teacher on how to communicate/contact the reading specialist. As a reading specialist, I personal love using Remind Me to communicate with parents and well as have parents provide me with feedback, questions, or concerns.

There are many parents who lack skills and do not know how to effectively help/assist their children. Proper preparation can be very successful for our students. Also, hosting parent-teacher conference along with the reading teachers can also create a solid partnership with both teachers and parents to provide the needed instruction for students. At the beginning of the school year while it is important to build relationships with students, reading specialist must also build relationships with parents as well. Finally, communicating with parents more frequently.

A child’s earliest language skills are developed at home and refined at school. When families and schools work collaboratively, children benefit greatly. Research shows that students will do better in school, teachers gain high self-esteem, and parents become empowered and more invested in their child's education when the home school connection is strong. During my observation of the literacy specialist, she was preparing for a virtual family reading night. Her first steps were planning the event and soliciting help to run the break out rooms. Once this was complete, she began to create communications to advertise the event. There was a flyer created with a basic overview shared. She shared that all communications are in English and Spanish due to the school’s population. She also posted the flyer on social media and the school website. She also shared the flyer via email and asked all teachers to post it in their google classrooms. She shared that this helps to reach as many families as possible. A week before the event, she shared a video with families on google classroom and the school’s website. This helps to build momentum. Forty-eight hours before the event, a robo-call goes out to all the families to remind them of the event and all the logistical details. She shared that when school is in session, she would use many of the same strategies but would also announce it on the morning announcements. She would also share the flyer with parents as they drop off students at arrival and dismissal. The literacy specialist used many engagement strategies that I would use in my future practice. The school that I work at is in a high poverty area and many of the families do not have access to internet service and limited technology. Therefore, it is important to use multiple forms This study source was downloaded by 100000774567807 from CourseHero.com on 12-11-2021 13:58:05 GMT -06:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/93458797/Literacy-Specialist-Interviewdocx/ LITERACY SPECIALIST INTERVIEW 3 of communication to share events with families. I will use the literacy specialist’s strategy of making a robo-call to share the logistics of the event, this will help to reach families that do not have access to technology. I will also use her idea to share flyers at arrival and dismissal. This allows me to speak with families in person and ask any questions they may have about the event. Finally, I would implement her idea of sharing the flyer in multiple languages. By communicating with families in their native language, it allows them to understand what to expect at the event. It also helps them to feel connected and valued by the school.

Importance of establishing a home-school connection
Establishing a home-school connection is essential for students’ learning and success.
Children learn how to read at home before going to school depending on the parent’s input in
learning. At an early age, the parent can read out stories to the student to help build their
understanding. Home school connection helps track students’ academic progress. It leads to
improved student achievement, behavior, regular school attendance, and a positive attitude
towards learning. Successful parental involvement entails the active and ongoing participation of
a parent in their child’s education (Naeyc, n.d). At home, parents can demonstrate parental
involvement by helping the child with homework, reading with the children, and attending
school functions. The teacher should communicate regularly with the parents and involve them
in decision-making processes and the learning progress. If the parents are engaged and support
the student’s learning, the academic performance and behavior of the students will improve.
Research-based strategies for each of the five essential components of literacy that can be
implemented at home
For phonemic awareness some strategies to use include the use of language games and
word walls to focus on certain sounds and letters. The parents can also use poems with rhythmic
words and repetition to teach this component through reading aloud and selecting exciting books
and also have the child to re-read their favorite books (Antunez, n.d). One strategy to build
vocabulary development includes storytelling whic...
