The Compact for Reading website offers free, easy-to-use literacy lesson plans for parents to use with their children in grades K-3. The lesson plans cover all aspects of literacy and are broken down by grade level, so parents can select lessons targeting the specific areas their children need to improve. The short, downloadable lessons continue students' education outside the classroom and aim to build collaboration between parents, teachers, and students to reinforce literacy strategies.
