Family Literacy Night: A Celebration of Reading!
Campbell, Becky; Morton, Shirley; Rumschlag, Hella
Library Media Connection, v30 n1 p48-50 Aug-Sep 2011
Family Literacy Night is an exciting way to engage students and their parents in meaningful literacy activities while building community spirit and strengthening the partnership between school and home. It is an opportunity for students to show their parents what they do in school; how they create in the computer lab, how they work in the art room, and how they interact with the staff. This article shares the authors' experiences in coordinating Family Literacy Night for a K-5 elementary school, from recruiting staff members to gathering feedback at the end of the evening.
