1. Write a brief letter to the families describing the literacy activity. The letter should be written in a way that uses appropriate, grammatically correct language, and is easy to understand for all families.  Consider translating the letter for any non-native English speakers.  Incorporate a design and format which makes the letter engaging for families to read. (6c)

In the letter, clearly state the purpose of the literacy activity. Families need to know that the activity is not just a way to have fun with their child. They are teaching or practicing a specific and valuable skill that is important to the child’s literacy development.  Remember to connect the home activity to the read-aloud book theme. (2b) 

Create a reciprocal step in the literacy activity. You have given them a task to support their child’s literacy. Identify how families can return an artifact to contribute to the classroom community. This letter should be provided to families of early learning classroom for them to complete the activity at home. (2b)
