This handbook outlines non-formal educational techniques to help educators and community service workers involve parents and grandparents from language minority communities in their children's education.

The low cost techniques introduced in the handbook guide educators to help language minority parents find ways of becoming involved in their children's education on their own terms, in their own voices. Some of the techniques support orality while others reinforce literacy skills.
