This section of the Harvard Family Research Project website is a unique new source for information on using children's storybooks with family involvement themes to engage families in their children's education and encourage family–school–community partnerships, all while supporting literacy.
The Storybook Corner offers resources to help educators, families, and those who work with families promote the awareness, discussion, and practice of family involvement in children's education in a wide range of settings. Launched in partnership with Reading Is Fundamental, Storybook Corner provides a list of storybooks with family involvement themes and tools for using the storybooks, as well as our own original bilingual online storybook. The Storybook Corner is a part of the Family Involvement Storybook Project, a unique way to move research into practice.
The Storybook Corner provides one way to put into action Harvard Family Research Project’s complementary learning approach to closing the achievement gap. In order for children to be successful there must be an array of linked learning supports around them. Storybook Corner resources help build critical complementary learning linkages among families, schools, and community organizations—in particular the connection between families and schools.
