I feel that there are a lot of resources for families these days that can assist them in encouraging their child's relationship with literacy. This chapter emphasized that as teachers we need to be understanding of all families. This is because there may be some families who have the time to sit down every night and work on literacy with their children while other families may not even see each other aside from 10 minutes before their children go to bed. With technology advancing the majority of resources for families is online. I found two websites that I think would help families with literacy at home. Scholastic is a great resource in general, their parent page provides daily tips for parents to assist their children in literacy at home. The National Children's Literacy Website provides strategies and other resources for parents to assist their children in literacy at home.
