Resource Type

Book - Parent

Description

"Opening Doors, Opening Opportunities describes the development and implementation of the Intergenerational Literacy Project, a family literacy project for immigrant parents and their children. It provides detailed descriptions of parents, children, and teachers who participated, the strategies that guided instruction, and the assessment process used to evaluate outcomes. Samples of student work combined with in-depth case studies are included to provide instructional strategies and snapshots of everyday lives of parents and their children. In addition, this text looks beyond family literacy to a broader issue that classroom teachers confront ? how to establish effective partnerships between parents and teachers in linguistically and culturally diverse communities."--From the Publisher
