Hi Dana,
you might want to have a look at the RIF website:
http://www.rif.org/
You can offer this one as a handout, or make your own from it:
http://www.rif.org/parents/tips/tip.mspx?View=11
In addition I would offer a Kindergarten workshop for the new
kindergarten parents, which will also include some tips. You can share
some tips on read aloud and the parents can share some tips to each
other. Parents who want to speak up can.
Also, collect some resources from your area and put them on a bookmark:
story times at the library/bookstore.
places where they:
lend books/books on tape (also important for families who speak another
language at home)
sell (2nd hand) books
Information about your book program at school.
A list of books appropriate for kindergarten.
Information about reading in your own language (you might want to
provide that in more languages)
You can have copies for all in a take home package or have them
available in your classroom. So, parents who want can take one.
