The Home English Literacy for Parents (HELP) project and curriculum were developed and implemented in seven schools in the northwest suburban Chicago area. Project services were offered to parents of bilingual program students 5 hours per week at each site. The curriculum consists of two phases of instruction (English survival competencies and school-related competencies) at three instructional levels (beginning, intermediate, advanced). The curriculum packet contains: a description of expectations for general language ability, listening comprehension, oral communication, reading skill, and writing skill for each of the three instructional levels; the Phase 1 and 2 curriculum outlines; suggested teaching techniques for Phase 2; and sample lesson plans for Phase 2 competencies. Phase 1 unit topics include: banking and bills; clarification; directions; emergencies; employment; health; housing; personal identification; and social language. Phase 2 unit topics include: the United States school system; school system personnel; the school building; supplies; U.S. holidays; school absence; school transportation; school calendar; registration; the report card; doctor/dentists appointments; parent conferences; children's problems; hot lunches; health notices and calls from school; library cards; field trips; and extracurricular activities. Attached is the report of a 2-year HELP program developed by the Elgin (Illinois) School District for Spanish speaking adults; appended materials include school forms, some in Spanish, basic competency tests, and scope and sequence outlines.
