Description

Home Is the First Classroom: Family Engagement & Literacy - Research is clear: family involvement is one of the strongest predictors of reading success. We'll explore what meaningful engagement actually looks like, not worksheets sent home, but authentic connection around language, story, and print. “Families don't need to teach reading. They just need to keep talking, singing, and reading together.”
