This session will provide a culturally competent framework for working with Latino parents for parent involvement. The presentation will address the acculturation process, socioeconomic influences, language and literacy skills, parents' previous educational experiences, and how to transfer successfully into our schools today, as well as family and community considerations. A focus will be on working with parents to build parent capacity with family reading, culturally rich children's literature for vocabulary development, and sharing their own family stories with their children.
