Reading Rockets newsletters

Reading Rockets http://www.readingrockets.org/newsletters/extras
From this US website you can download or be sent Ed Extras - a free monthly service that offers articles about learning aimed at preschools, primary schools and PTAs.
The one page articles can be downloaded either as a PDF or a Word document, and contain helpful suggestions to encourage home literacy practice eg bedtime reading, "grocery store literacy", the role of fathers, etc.
Though you probably wouldn't use them exactly as they are, they would be better "translated" to the New Zealand context, they could be a good starter for items to go to parents in a school newsletter maybe...
