Ms. Linek,

Parenting Resources for the 21st Century links parents and other adults
responsible for the care of a child with information on issues covering
the full spectrum of parenting. This site, federally sponsored through
the Coordinating Council on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention,
strives to help families meet the formidable challenges of raising a
child today by addressing topics that include school violence, child
development, home schooling, organized sports, child abuse, and the
juvenile justice system. Just do a search for ” Parenting Resources for
the 21st Century”

Also, the US department of education has dozens of free publication for
parents and they are available in both Spanish and English.

Good luck,

Barb - the Family Reading series I mentioned is a collection of ten
children's books of different types, a teacher's guide with lesson
plans,
and a photocopy master book. Each lesson focuses on one of the
children's
books, along with one related adult reading selection. Adults discuss
the
books and their selections in a classroom setting, then do PACT time
with
the children, reading that lesson's book together and discussing it.

You can get a better look at the series by looking in the most recent
(Spring 2003) catalog from New Reader's Press - it's on page 70. You can
get
a catalog by calling 800-448-8878. Or you can go online at
www.newreaderspress.com. The ISBN number for the classroom set is
0-88336-973-7. Hope this helps!!

Any suggestions on parenting materials to use during ESL class with
Spanish-speaking migrants in our Even Start family literacy program?
Amanda Wendt mentioned a Family Reading book a while back.  What is
that?
