Home Literacy Bags Promote Family Involvement.
Barbour, Ann C.
Childhood Education, v75 n2 p71-75 Win 1998-1999
A family literacy program used "Be Excited about Reading" bags, which contained quality children's books and family activities that extended the classroom theme to be taken home by at-risk prekindergarten and kindergarten students. The literacy bags reached all families, encouraged family/school partnerships promoting children's learning, affected parental attitudes and behaviors, and encouraged parental interest and support.
