Make Reading Fun! is a program that is being used in many different communities. It can help you encourage families in your community to become more involved with their children's learning, through the magic of book-sharing. You'll find out how to show parents and children how they can read together and communicate better -- in ways that are fun for everyone. With this program, children's achievement and motivation are both given a boost, as parents read and share with their children. Teachers (and principals) notice the difference in children who participate in these interactive family reading activties! This workshop provides: |

A mix of hands-on activities, videos, and interaction with other participants.

A chart correlating parent-child activities with the areas of "scientifically based" reading instruction. |
