Welcome to
Family Connections

Family Connections consists of two sets of 30 colorful guides. They are filled with fun things for parents and children to do together that enhance early learning. These popular, simple-to-use guides are designed to help families be more effectively involved in their children's education. Teachers can send the four-page guides home with children; family educators with Head Start or other programs can use them as they visit homes; or programs can mail them directly to interested parents. View examples of the content and illustrations. See how easy it can be for schools to build a home-school partnership.

Every issue has

  • a front page message to parents about such topics as
      how important it is to read aloud
      how children learn through play

  • easy, enjoyable activities for families to do together
      with little preparation
      using materials in the home

  • one or more read-aloud pieces
      to stimulate imagination
      to have fun with language

Family Connections 1 is for preschool youngsters. It also comes in a Spanish-language version--Relaciones Familiares 1. Family Connections 2 is for those in kindergarten. The bright colors and original art appeal to both children and parents.
