SAMPLE LETTER TO PARENTS Greetings parents, You are invited to attend [Insert PTA Name]’s Family Reading Experience, Powered by Kindle at [Insert Time] on [Insert Date]! PTA Family Reading Experience, Powered by Kindle is a fun, family event where parents and their children play games that build reading skills. Each of the games highlight one of the key domains of literacy and one area is devoted to how you can use technology when you read with your children at home. PTA Family Reading Experience, Powered by Kindle will give you engaging strategies to use at home to build on what your children are learning at school and to foster your children’s skills and love of reading. When you attend, you will get the chance to connect with other families while you and your children learn and play together. Research shows that family engagement leads to greater student success. Students with engaged parents are more likely to earn higher grades, attend school regularly, have better social skills, and go on to college. Family engagement and family-school partnerships are integral parts of PTA’s mission. We are very excited to see these priorities come alive in our PTA Family Reading Experience, Powered by Kindle and we hope to see you there! Please read more about the event in the attached flier. Sincerely, [Insert PTA President’s Name]
