Supporting children to read stories at home can be a rewarding activity that enhances the connection between home and school. This lesson extends students' literacy learning from school to home. Following Smith and Piper's three-tier scaffolding model, the teacher prepares students to read the story unassisted, avoiding the possibility of placing caregivers in the potentially alienating position of having to act as literacy instructors; yet, the model still enables caregivers to celebrate their child's achievement and to contribute their insight and understanding in ways that are most comfortable to them. The procedures detailed in this lesson can be easily integrated into ongoing literacy instruction. (author/ncl)
