Hold a parent workshop
Colorín Colorado's AFT toolkit for teachers makes it easy for educators to hold workshops for parents on a variety of literacy topics. The toolkit includes background information on reaching out to Hispanic parents, handouts, activity sheets, and bilingual video segments to use and discuss.
You can order a physical copy of the Toolkit, by visiting the American Federation of Teachers' website.
* To view this file, you'll need a copy of Acrobat Reader. Most computers already have it installed. If yours does not, you can download it now.
The site looks great and will be really helpful in my teaching the adult and child ELL populations daily.
