Lesson Plan

Parent Email Lesson Plan

Students will compose a professional, empathetic email inviting a parent to support their daughter’s reading development by recommending a specialized reading class instead of an elective, using clear tone and actionable messaging.

Building strong school–family partnerships and audience-awareness skills helps students practice real-world communication and supports student success by engaging parents as partners.
