Weekly Call to Action

Know What Your Child is Reading! 
As the school year comes to a close, your child may come home with some required or suggested reading for the summer. Parents, your active involvement in your child's education is paramount! One concerned grandfather found “extremely sexually explicit books” in Higley, so pay attention to the books on the list and check the ratings of the books from sites like RatedBooks.org.  

If you find that the books are not age appropriate, it’s crucial to exercise your legal parental rights and take action by following these steps: 

• Engage in a direct conversation with your child about their reading assignments. This not only fosters open communication but also encourages them to take responsibility for their learning. 

• Contact your child’s school administration or English teacher and request to review recommended reading lists.  These books may not be in the school resource center.  

• Ask your child’s school to provide a list of other age-appropriate books your child can read instead.  

If you would like more details on how to take these actions and document your experience with the school, don't hesitate to contact Tamra Farah with SMART Families Network at education@azwomenofaction.com.
