Client: University of Tennessee's Summer Undergraduate Research Office
During the summer of 2014, I completed a Summer Undergraduate Research Internship at the University of Tennessee. I focused on Latino literacy and how to help young Latino children be more interested in reading.
I found that many Latino parents expressed difficulty communicating with their child’s teacher in order to assist their child at home. This not only affects literacy but it also affects their child’s overall academic success. I developed a bilingual communication guide that strengthens the connection between parents and teachers.
The goal of this outcome is to empower Latino parents’ involvement in their child’s education.
