Additional Resources
School Resources For Parents
I choose this website because it gives parents resources no matter what grade their child is in. I also think it will be helpful for a family with multiple children in multiple grade so a parent knows what to ask and look for.
Peak With Books: An Early Childhood Resource for Balanced Literacy
Paperback, 320 pages
Delmar Cengage Learning

Borders (2010)
The reason I choose this book was because one of the teachers at one of the schools that I go to swears by this book. She uses it every week to do her lesson plans. After looking through it I found that it could be very useful. The book gives simple and easy ways to help children learn to read and enjoy reading. The book is a litte pricey but it can help teachers at school and can also help parents who like to do a little extra at home with there children.

BCCAP-Burlington County Community Action Program
This is a organization where I live which helps with low income families with various child care resources. I choose this because I wanted to learn more about it. Many of the parents we deal with go through this program to get subsidze payment for there children to attend. I always see the payments come but I never knew about the program it came from so this was a great time to learn about the non-profit organization.
Tashana,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the link to the School Resources For Parents site. I will be sharing this with the home visitors but also with our transition coordinator. I found the site a wealth of information that will help us help families get their child or children ready for school.
