Comprehensive Family Engagement Kits Linked to Classroom Learning and College and Career Readiness Standards
Literacy Events is Scholastic's innovative approach to promoting family engagement, an important component in early education that builds capacity, creates a shared responsibility for educational success, provides tools and confidence and gives educational leaders the capabilities to develop strong home, school and community partnerships. A key feature of effective family engagement programs is that they are linked to learning. Each kit includes literacy-rich activities that provide caregivers with a variety of strategies and tools they can use to nurture and strengthen their child's love of reading.
SPOTLIGHT ON READING Grades Pre-K - 5 • Perfect to kick off the school year! • Gets families excited about the importance of reading. • Shows the key role families play in supporting their children's education. • Designed to support teachers and families.

“A key feature of effective family engagement programs is that they are linked to learning. Just as certain instructional strategies can help a school reach its learning goals, family and community engagement can be a strategy for getting students reading at grade level, closing achievement gaps, and motivating students for long-term educational goals” -Karen Mapp, Ed.D., Senior Lecturer on Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education
