The Stress Free
Reading At Home parent
handbook was developed
to provide teachers
with a tool to share
advice and helpful
hints with parents as
they read at home with
their children. It
informs parents about
what reading
strategies are being
taught in the
classroom so they can
guide their children
in a supportive and
positive manner.
Developed by the
Vernon and District
Children's Literacy
Society, with advice
from two Resource
Teachers, the handbook
was meant to support
families with children
in the Society's ONE
TO ONE Children's
Literacy Program.
However, as handbooks
were passed from
teacher to teacher,
demand grew. To
raise funds for our
literacy programs, we sell
copies of the
blackline master so
schools can create and
distribute the
handbooks as needed.
Here are some examples.

Learning Reader's Comments and Questions I am very pleased
that Vancouver SD is now
part of CUE. We
have representatives
from Surrey, Coquitlam
and now Vancouver.
This means that we
represent the three
largest districts.
Any support that we can
provide to Vancouver CUE
or any other district
will greatly benefit our
organization. CUEBC, Vice President 2003
Computer Science and
Information
Technology Symposium A man absolutely
hated his wife's cat
and decided to get
rid of it one day by
driving it 20 blocks
from hishome and
leaving it at the
park. As he was
getting home, I'm sure that we are all on listserves that cater to our specific professional interests already. TechTalk is not intended to be a replacement. The purpose of TechTalk is to distribute ideas, innovations, announcements, and questions to the global educational community that transcends the restricted audiences found on traditional listserves. The anticipated benefits are that we will gain greater insight and appreciation for the elementary - secondary - university - professional development - continuum of ICT education and forge new, synergistic networks between a cross section of educators. TechTalk's layout is very plain - read that as boring...:-) BUT I wanted TechTalk to be a quick read and an even quicker download . I'm hoping that the readership will forgive the absence of 'eye candy' and appreciate the effort at providing content. TechTalk is FREE. Please distribute to people within your own networks that might be interested. No spamming, please! The mailing list will not be distributed to any other organization. CUEBC (Computer Using Educators of British Columbia) is a Professional Specialist Association of the British Columbia Teachers Federation. TechTalk does not have a budget and is operated completely by volunteers. Brian Hodson has been a classroom teacher for approximately 22 years and an executive member of CUEBC for about 8. He has been involved with Information Technology in the classroom for a long time, initiated the Daybook project (free lesson plans), and served as Provincial Field Liaison Coordinator for the Millennium Time Capsules Project . How to Subscribe And/Or Unsubscribe If you have received this publication in error, we apologize and request that you simply unsubscribe. The list is read only; which means that your mailbox will not fill up with communications from strangers. The mailing list will not be distributed in any form to a third party. To join or leave the list: Should you have any problems or questions, please e-mail listsupport@bctf.bc.ca who will be happy to help. TechTalk is mailed to approximately 700 people around the world (Denmark, Japan, Indonesia, Mexico, USA to name a few) ranging from teachers in training to university staff; from new teachers to seasoned veterans; from BCTF staff and senior administrative officers to ministry officials; and from technology coordinators and mentors to techno-rookies. A number of commercial interests are also on the mailing list. Although our day to day responsibilities vary, we share the common goal of developing the technological literacy of our colleagues and students. Our goal is to publish TechTalk on the first Monday of the month. If a tremendous amount of information is submitted, then we will try to publish once every two weeks. All submissions should be concise (100 words or less with a url for more detail) and emailed to: bhodson@sd53.bc.ca. The value of this publication rests with the readership! As always, please pass TechTalk to colleagues who may be interested (no spamming - thanks!.)
