Learning Doesn’t Have to Stop at the Classroom Door
See how to bring your PreK-3 literacy and math curriculum into the home, in every family’s language, without adding to your busy teachers’ workload.
December 2, 2026 · 11:00am PT · 2:00pm ET
Families want to be part of their child’s learning, but they aren’t always sure how to help. In these critical early grades, engaging families as partners in learning can improve literacy and math outcomes and build a strong foundation for long-term student success.
The challenge is providing home practice that actually matches what’s happening in class that week. TalkingPoints Academics at Home gives families easy, fun activities aligned to your curriculum, with no new programs or apps. Activities are sent by text in each family’s home language.
Designed for the walk to school or while getting dinner ready, they support and reinforce the learning happening in your classrooms today.
What we’ll cover
- Why learning at home matters: Learn what research shows about family participation and early learning outcomes.
- Three ways families can support learning: See how activities fit into daily routines, with no prep for teachers. You’ll see no-screen everyday moment learning activities, personalized decodable texts for phonics practice, and interactive practice games that make learning fun!
- How activities align to your curriculum: See our four-step process for mapping your scope and sequence and pacing guides to weekly activities sent home by text, whether you use HMH Into Reading, CKLA, Illustrative Mathematics, or another curriculum.
- Easy to run, easy to measure: See how activities are scheduled and sent automatically by the district or teacher, and how dashboards show which families are accessing and completing them.
Who should attend
Chief Academic Officers, Directors of Curriculum & Instruction, Literacy and Math Coordinators and Specialists, Instructional Coaches, and Family Engagement Leaders supporting elementary grades.
