Family Literacy Event Proposal

Planning For a Family Literacy Event

For this assignment, you will develop a Proposal for a small Family Literacy Event that you can create at your school/preschool setting. Keep the ideas for the event simple and the focus on building relationships with families and on authentic engagements with real books. *Remember that you will not be required to actually create this event; you are just developing a usable proposal for the event that takes all of your learning from this course into consideration.

What you will submit:

Part One:

· A description of your the setting including grade level, your role in the setting and a proposed number of participants for your event (this proposal should be for a small event, not a schoolwide event).

· Select one of the reading tip sheets linked below and explain how you will use this with families. Plan to include a read aloud and demonstrate some of the tips on the tip sheet.

· Reading Tip Sheets for Parents

· Links to an external site.

·

· Explain how you will share information with families about resources in the community (including library resources for your community).

·

· Describe how you might learn from families about home literacy practices and how you might use this knowledge to help enrich the literacy learning in the classroom.

· Describe how you might use at least ONE of the ideas described in your Accelerating Literacy textbook for your proposed event. (Find these in Part II of your book).

One approach that you might explore is to connect with parents of children in an after-school program and offer to provide a 30 minute workshop around a read aloud. Demonstrate an interactive read-aloud with students and offer parents some tips (see link above) on how to support literacy learning at home though simple things like conversation, songs, simple activities, books to provide literacy enrichment and a love for reading.

Part Two:

Reflecting on this assignment:

Write a reflection on your growth and new learning around this assignment.

· How did your research into literacy learning needs for the discussion assignment influence your literacy learning event?

· Do you think that you could help meet a recognized need in the community?

· What might your vision be for expanding on your ideas for this event?

· Reading Tip Sheets for Parents

· Links to an external site.

· The Resources at Your Library
