Abstract	Designed to expand the scope of the inservice reading program to help parents understand the whole language reading strategies used to remediate students, a practicum conducted a parent survey, carried out parent training sessions, and evaluated the program's success. The practicum focused on 323 parent participants from five Chapter 1 elementary school districts (schools with large numbers of low-income, educationally deprived students). A parent survey and needs assessment were conducted, after which the writer developed and facilitated inservice whole language reading training sessions which focused on helping parents better understand whole language listening, speaking, reading, and writing strategies. Evaluation indicated that parent understanding of these strategies increased overall 87% for whole language writing strategies and 95% for whole language reading strategies, with 94% of the parent participants rating the inservice program excellent. (Five tables of data are included. Twenty references and 12 appendixes including survey instruments, needs assessment test data, a parent inservice overview, and read-aloud picture book suggestions, conclude the report.) (SR)
