Embedded within what K-5 teachers need to know about the life of their students are the literacy lessons we want teachers to introduce to parents. Our program at NCCAT helps teachers to develop positive relationships with teachers so that they can help parents to develop their own compelling reason for using these literacy strategies with their child. Chances are excellent that a child will have less difficulties with reading if a parent takes these actions with their child.
