Description

FASTalk is a text-message family-engagement programme that sends multilingual, at-home literacy activities to families to support learning partnerships between schools and historically underserved households.

Components

  • FASTalk text-message family engagement program for at-home literacy activities in the home language: FASTalk (Families and Schools Talk) is a family engagement tool that "seeks to promote equity and build partnerships between teachers and historically underserved families by sharing engaging, at-home learning activities via text messages in each family's home language." Parents received three text messages per week for 8 weeks supporting literacy development at home. The program requires no additional staffing, offers optional professional development for administrators and educators, and requires only a text message-enabled phone.
