Or, you may have to simplify it for them by assigning different homework. If this still doesn’t work, you can try motivating families by offering rewards or other incentives (i.e. free book, food voucher, etc.) Or, you may simply have to provide time during class when they can do the homework. In all of these situations, as facilitator, you will have to use your judgement and you may have to try a variety of ideas before finding the right solution for your class.

GSL Forms

Have parents complete GSL forms including:

• Release of information Form
• Transportation Supports Agreement
• Caseworker Form
• Samples of these forms can be found in Section B, “Ready, Set, Go!”

Review

• Link what the parents just learned to the Parent and Child Together (PACT) time coming up. Read daily and have lots of fun! Parents need to know how reading can be fun if they themselves see reading as work and definitely not fun. How can interacting with a book or reading be fun? How can it be silly and feel good rather than pressured?
• Homework: Discuss craft and assign number 1 in the child book. In parent book, see pages 2-9. Ask them to bring a photograph/object that represents their family for next class
