We usually have a literacy night much like the one you describe but last year we change up a little. We paired up with a younger grade (I teach 4th & paired up with our K) to show what a strategy would look like at a lower level and then at a higher level. We had the kids come with their parents and move around the school (like centers). This way they got a look at the different strategies and how the rigor increases up the levels.

Hi All: I have our Parent Literacy Night coming up this month.? We always meet by grade level and don't plan as a whole school.? We usually read The Stranger to the parents and demonstrate and have them participate in various reading strategies.? I'd like to try something new--does anyone have something that worked really well for you to involve the parent?.? Oh--I teach 4th grade.? Thanks for any suggestions--I always learn so much from you.
