“I'm really amazed at how well your materials have complimented our program and our efforts to help students. They are just so well thought out and so well planned. I just can't wait to spread the news about your parental involvement materials!”

Works Whether Parents Come to School or Stay At Home
Getting parents to come to school can be quite a challenge. Frog Family Fun-Packs meet that challenge by putting the power of parental involvement right into each student's home 3 or more nights each week consistently, week, after week, after week. To make it easy for parents to use consistently, Fun-Pack games take just a few minutes to play. Students review 25 important skills in a matter of moments. |

"It is really such a great program because it does all
the work."
–Valerie C., Emerson Elem, MI |

Works Even If Parents Are Unskilled, Exhausted, Non-English Proficient, or Even Illiterate
Since Family Fun-Packs take just minutes to play each night and are so fun, even the busiest, most exhausted parents will enjoy helping their child master the 25 important skills they'll be reviewing nightly. All Fun-Pack games are self-checking so parents can help their children even if they themselves have not mastered the skills. And since only one level requires parents to read (Level R), even illiterate parents can join in the fun of learning with Frog Family Fun-Packs. Even parents who speak little or no English can still help their children learn to read and speak English with Dual Language Family Fun-Packs. Each question and answer for the games is provided in both English and Spanish on every Dual Language Family Fun-Pack gamecard. The Listen and Repeat auditory lessons on CD provide a model of clear, unaccented natural English pronunciation. Through imitation, the children, and even their entire families, learn to understand and pronounce all the English words and phrases and sentences that appear on their Family Fun-Pack game cards. |
