  1. This resource depends on the parent being a proficient reader of English. Is there a way resources might be developed to support all parents whether they have the ability to read themselves or not?

    I greatly appreciate resources to support parent understanding of the curriculum and/or language teachers and student will be using in the classroom.

    1. This is a great tool for those who are just learning about structured literacy terms. It would also be great to have a quick video format available to share with parents as well.
