Abstract
Research demonstrates that engaging in shared literacy experiences impact a reader’s literacy skills, their reading self concept and their reading motivation creating long term literacy gains and lifelong readers. There is value in both diverse home literacy experiences and in the literacy curriculum practices that occur in the classroom. However, the gap between the two settings creates disconnects in the overall literacy education of a student. This project is designed to bridge that gap in a positive culturally sustainable way. Each module, which the student self selects from a pool of picture books representing diverse characters, authors, illustrations and literary formats, contains caregiver prompts, activities and enrichment options. Each is carefully designed to align with various educational frameworks and third grade English language arts curriculum standards. The goal of this project is to provide an easily implementable resource for educators, students and caregivers to create positive home literacy experiences supported by educational and curricular frameworks.
