Building Strong Parent-Educator Partnerships

New Jersey Tiered System of Supports for Early Reading (NJTSS-ER) Project’s purpose is to engage families in science-based reading instruction and intervention and promote partnerships between parents and educators.

NJTSS-ER Projects’ Resource Collection for Parents & Educators includes a variety of ways to learn about best practices and effective strategies for early literacy, including tip sheets, recorded presentations, activity pages, articles, and more! 

SPAN’s NJTSS-ER Project is a partnership between the New Jersey Department of Education and SPAN Parent Advocacy Network.
