Hi Dana, I would present the information on reading at home at the Open House. I think that what's most important about parents and children reading together is the relationship that can be developed solely around the reading and sharing of books. It is not so important that parents read to their children in a certain way or even that they ask certain questions of their children as they're reading. I think more important than that is that the parent and child enjoy this time together and that they develop natural ways of talking about books. Does this make sense? Elisa

As I am putting together my open house information for my parents, I always emphasize the importance of reading to and with their children daily. I would like to teach my parents how to read with their children and I'd love some advice. Should I take the time during my open house to teach this or should I deliver the information at another time. I want my parents to understand the importance of reading daily and want this information to reach them at the earliest time of year. Most of my parents attend open house since it's a time when they get to meet their child's teacher and get answers to any questions they may have. In September, our school offers a Curriculum night however, most kindergarten parents do not attend. I don't want to insult any of my parents and any advice is greatly appreciated! -- Don't Doubt the Dream!
