The purpose of the Family Literacy Project is to develop effective communication with the parents of your client and to identify activities that the parents and children can work on together at home to extend the Clinic experience and enrich their literacy development. You will use data from your assessments along with information from the Clinic application and from your parent interview to determine the needs and instructional goals for your client. // **//__Part __//****//__1 __//****: ** Read //On Parenting: Ten Steps to Helping Your Child Succeed in School// by Mychal Wynn.
