Explore the Family Partnership Toolkit

2. Maximize Reading and Writing In and Out of School3. Mobilize Our Literacy-Rich Communities
Written By Susan Lee

This toolkit helps school leaders collaborate with families on the implementation of NYC Reads, NYC Public Schools' literacy initiative. It offers a school-year roadmap for leaders, July through June, with strategies to:

  • facilitate two-way, consistent communication and learning between educators and families

  • provide families with varied, asset-based toolboxes of literacy supports for their children

  • celebrate literacy as a source of joy, multilingualism, and cultural continuity

  • continuously learn about how family partnership efforts are working and how they can be improved

While specific to NYC, the toolkit offers guidance that can be customized by school leaders in any system.

Download the toolkit and consider how you can use it with your team.
