  • Looking at past surveys to see what topics or issues the parents bring up

  • Make note of any issues that come up frequently in patron interactions

  • Refer back to Roles & Goals to see which ones are most common amongst the adults and use those to springboard ideas

  • Listen to what the children are interested in during meetings. (topics, activities, favourite books or shows)

  • Scan news stories for things that may be potential issues for learners and their families ie: financial scams, identify theft phishing

It's a good one because it includes counting and different sound effects you can make with the kids!


    Our next Family Literacy Night is going to be Dia de los Ninos themed.

So we selected a monthly book and craft for the first 12 months. Our program is mainly virtual, so each month we film the story time and craft, post it on YouTube, and families come to our office to pick up their reading and activity package so they can follow along with the video.

    Have the whole group stand together in front of you. Then point to the right for one option and the left for the other. Each person moves to the side that they like.

    Example:

    Tacos or Burgers

    Movies or Books

    Mountains or Beach


    You can pick a theme that matches your book and roll with it. There are lots of ideas online.
