What a great resource for parents and guardians! Jump Start makes it clear that it is necessary for parents/guardians to work on the skills learned at school for the children to reach the greatest benefit. I loved the suggestions for parents to have a reading routine each day, whether its before bedtime, in the bath, or after dinner. They also provide a great list of books such as Where The Sidewalk Ends. What I like is the categories of books they include are so well rounded. They include books for social-emotional development, multi-cultural and anti-bias books, and books in Spanish and English.
My favorite thing on this part of the sight is the family calendar provided (in English and Spanish). Each month has suggestions for activities, book selections, and other great ideas. The calendar can easily be printed out for home use.

Another great resource is a data sheet that describes why early intervention is so important and gives plenty of statistics that explain what an issue literacy has become. Check out the site here: http://www.jstart.org/site/PageServer?pagename=WhatWeDo_Families
