The goal of this toolkit is to help you reach out to parents and families of ELL students effectively and make them a vital part of their children’s education. It includes background information on reaching out to Hispanic parents, sample workshops and bilingual handouts. A strong partnership between schools and parents is essential to the academic success of students. The key is to communicate with parents in a timely fashion and provide them with meaningful and “doable” suggestions for how they can help develop their children's literacy skills and encourage academic success.
