Family involvement toolkit

Reading Connects family involvement toolkit (pdf)  

The Reading Connects family involvement toolkit was written following a cafe-style discussion conference in 2006 which brought together a wide range of experts in engaging parents and other family members with their children's reading. It was written for primary and secondary schools and provides the tools needed to reach out to families and encourage them to make their homes reading homes. You can download a pdf version of the toolkit on this page. If you would like to get your hands on a hard copy, you will need to become a Reading Connects school (find out how to become a Reading Connects school ) or Reading Connects partner (SLS or local authority consultant - find out how to become a Reading Connects partner).
