Parent to Parent helps parents become active participants in their children’s literacy development. Authors Oglan and Elcombe offer parents a wealth of information to facilitate their children’s learning. Each chapter begins with questions parents frequently ask about speaking, listening, reading, writing, and spelling. The authors provide a number of strategies that help children develop as writers and spellers, such as having children write grocery lists, use message boards, or participate in written conversations. Numerous examples of student writing are included, along with stories written by parents who have used many of the suggestions and strategies included throughout the book. An annotated bibliography of children’s literature from kindergarten to grade six is also included.
