Family Literacy Essay

Decent Essays
Hello,
I have not had experience through our school district with family literacy nights, but my children and I have participated in our local library’s family literacy nights. Throughout the year our library hosts a Family Fun Night For Literacy. They add different themes and usually have a character, such as Curious George there for the children to meet and receive a free book from. They read books, write, and have activities centered around the theme. It is a real treat when the author shows up to read their story to the children. This is a great way for the children to get interested in learning and also demonstrates the importance of reading and writing when the family participates together.

    During family literacy night I was able to practice my DLTA lesson and my storytelling lesson. A variety of students asked to hear a story first and others asked to be read to. The book I read was Llama Llama and the Bully Goat, and the story I told was The Gingerbread Man with a different ending from the traditional story. Family Literacy Night was a great opportunity to practice my storytelling skills, and practice what questions allow them to think deeper. Although I enjoyed it there were moments that I thought about changing some questions and even changing my book.…

Jacob was a poor man and could not afford the family’s way to Charleston. Desperate, he made a deal with the ship’s captain to indenture his oldest son William Voils as a crew hand for four years in exchange for the family’s way. Upon regaining his freedom, William furiously changed the spelling of his last name to Voyles to break all ties from his father Jacob.…

    After the fight that Jeannette’s mom and dad had. The mom got up with the kids and applied for a job at the Battle Mountain Intermediate School and was hired on the spot because she had a teaching degree.
