Click Here to View Sample Pages

Research proves families and children working together greatly improves reading achievement!

Motivate families to stay involved in reading throughout the year by hosting literacy nights, back-to-school events, parent-teacher meetings, and more using the comprehensive Reading for Success Kit from The Parent Institute.

This 90+ page resource kit (available in English and English with a Spanish supplement) is appropriate for all elementary grades. Designed to complement any existing reading program, the kit doesn't try to teach reading; rather, it reminds families that reading to and with their children at home has a powerful positive effect on student success now and into the future.

Two Ways to Present!

Conduct your own family literacy workshops, or show the videos at parent-teacher conferences, before or during other school events and on your website. Families will learn ways to stimulate their child’s interest in reading at home and ideas for giving their children the vital reading foundation needed for success!
