Parent Resources
A Parent's Guide to Supporting Early Literacy at Home
"Supporting Early Literacy at Home: A Parent's Guide” is a series of online, self-paced learning modules designed to provide information for parents and caregivers so that they can support their children’s early literacy development. Research shows that parent/caregiver involvement is the number one predictor of early literacy success as well as future academic success. Each learning module will provide information and tips (strategies) that will arm parents/caregivers with tools to support children from birth through the beginning years of school.
Resources for Families
Family engagement is a partnership between families and schools. This relationship seeks to create active participation, communication, and teamwork between families, schools, classrooms and the communities in which they serve. The South Carolina Department of Education seeks to empower families and communities by providing assistance and resources to ensure student achievement and success of all South Carolina students.
Family Friendly Standards
The South Carolina Education Oversight Committee (EOC) has developed Family-Friendly Standards to assist parents and caregivers in understanding what their children are learning at each grade level. These guides are designed to be accessible and informative, providing a clear overview of the state's academic expectations.
