Communicating with families is a critical step in fostering a collaborative relationship between school and home. Providing families with information and resources to support their child’s learning at home is a great way to help promote growth and development outside of the classroom.
For this assignment, you will create a brochure for families outlining at least three major genres of early childhood literature and criteria families should use when selecting appropriate literature for their child.
Select three genres to include in your brochure from the list below:
- Picture books
- Poetry
- Fables and fairy tales
- Traditional literature
- Modern fantasy
- Science fiction
- Realistic fiction
- Historical fiction
- Non-fiction (informational text, biography, history, etc.)
Your brochure should include:
- A brief description of the three selected genres
- Criteria to use when selecting appropriate literature to support growth and development
- A description of 3-5 resources families could reference when selecting literature for their child with website or contact information
- Description of three strategies families can implement when reading with their child to promote student growth and development
The brochure should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.
