Family Resource Center
When parents come to visit your school or Family Resource Center, you want to do two things: Welcome them in, and give them a reason to visit again.
Give parents the encouragement they need by having positive messages posted around your center, providing workshops they can attend, and having handouts they can take home.

Parents Sharing Books Program
Foreword to Parent Leaders
Parents are no different from other learners—they do what they know how to do. If you want parents to read and to discuss books with their children, they need first to feel that they are capable of doing it. Parents don’t want to “screw up their kids,” especially in the area of literacy. Unless they feel knowledgeable, they probably will be inclined to do nothing.
In today’s age of specialized knowledge, parents may sense that almost everything they do with their children requires training. That’s the reason Parents Sharing Books was developed. Although many parents can use their own interest in reading and their own sense of how to converse about a book, they will benefit from learning motivation and discussion strategies, and book-selection techniques they can share with their children.
This program is a resource for organizers and leaders of parent groups who want to promote literacy and family communication. Besides hints and techniques for book discussions, the program provides group organization plans and meeting agendas for group leaders.
As a leader of a PSB group, you will make a big difference in the lives of your parent partners and their children. Here are just a few statements that we have received from parents who have participated in previous PSB groups:
This program has changed my life. This is the first time in my life that I have read a book all the way through.
My son and I are communicating again.
My eighth grader hasn’t read a complete book since the second grade. Now she has read three books with me in one semester.
In many respects, you are forming a parent support group for those who want ideas and resources to help them to become a more effective part of their child’s intellectual and emotional life. Thank you for giving your time and talent to uplift family literacy and communication. If we can help you in your work, please call on us.
