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

version--Relaciones Familiares 1.
Family
Connections 2 is for those in kindergarten. The bright colors and original art appeal to both
children and parents.
