Parental Involvement

Stress the importance of literacy to parents with the help of a local ProLiteracy America affiliate. (Visit www.proliteracy.org to find one near you.) These organizations help people of all ages learn how to read. Ask a volunteer or representative to speak to parents one evening. Prior to the event, hang up an “Explore New Worlds As A Family… Read Together” Banner on the wall behind where the speaker will stand. Make sure he or she includes suggestions for ways parents can help foster the love of reading in their children. At the end of the program, pass out “Explore New Worlds as a Family...Read Together" Card with Silicone Bracelet to remind parents that reading with their children is a beneficial family activity.
