That question led to the development of the research question: how do home-school connection activities affect a preschooler's pre-literacy development? A review of literature was conducted to examine topics that relate to the research question. The study is composed of 7 preschoolers who are the research participants. Through supplemental worksheets, Teaching Strategies Gold, and professional journal notes I sought todetermine the impact of parental involvement on a students pre-literacy skills. The outcome was that the home-school connection positively impacts a preschooler's pre-literacy development.
