Abstract Combining home–school literacy bags with
preschool family literature circles provided a strong foundation
for family involvement at home and school during
this year-long Reading Partners project, and helped parents
become essential partners in their children’s literacy
development. Using home–school literacy bags, children
and parents learned how to combine expressive arts and
emergent literacy strategies including alphabet recognition,
phonemic and phonological awareness, and oral language
fluency. State-of-the-art activities designed for each of the
multiple intelligences met the needs of diverse students
with many different learning styles and interests. As families
participated in fall and spring school-based Festivals
in which they shared the literacy bags in small group
family literature circles, they demonstrated children’s
emerging literacy skills in a relaxed, yet highly engaging
atmosphere.
