I am a Language-Speech Specialist and work with Pre-K through 8th Grade students. I also work in a district with a high number of Hispanics. Many of the parents speak only English. When I saw the Guide in my local Los Angeles Times, I immediately thought that it would be a great resource for the parents of my students. I especially liked that it was in both English and Spanish.I look forward to more Parent Guides similar to this one. Many parents are interested in helping their children at home but do not know what they can do. I especially liked the parent tips incorporating tips into the everyday events (going to the grocery store, things to do in the car).

I receive the Los Angeles Times at my home, and was really excited when I found the Parent Reading Guide inside. I took it to school and showed the librarian. She was also excited and went online to learn more.I teach children with learning disabilities and one of their major problems is reading. Some of their parents speak only Spanish, so I was excited that this Guide was in Spanish also. I will share with families at our Open House. Those who do not attend, I will send a copy home with the student.Thank you, Los Angeles Times, Albertsons, Sav-on Drugs and Love Ride for making the Guide available to those to need it!
