Next Steps for Planning a Family Literacy Night After piloting
literacy stations with my class for the past couple of weeks, I
would like to move my Literacy program to bringing my students
parents and families to school to hold a Family Literacy Night.
This Family Literacy Night will entail teachers, students and their
families participating in literacy stations that they can do at
home with their child to support them with learning how to read. My
focus group is the families of my English Language learners since
these are the students that need the most support since they are
learning English as a second language. At each station, there will
be a translator that will provide all instructions given by the
teacher in Spanish. This will make the literacy material accessible
to all families and students who attend. I would love to move this
Family Literacy Night where it involves all families from grades
Kindergarten through Second grade. Here is my timeline for the next
couple of months: December- Continue to pilot and implement
Literacy Program in my classroom January- Plan with teachers from
K-2 about holding a Family Literacy Night in March February- Meet
with teachers from K-2 and plan stations and book bags March- Hold
Family Literacy Night at Marsh Elementary
