Voluntary Family Reading History Questionnaire (Provided by the CT State Department of Education)
The Voluntary Family Reading History Questionnaire is an optional form provided by the Connecticut State Department of Education to help schools better understand a child’s early reading experiences and family literacy history.

Families may choose to complete this questionnaire to share information related to language development, early reading behaviors, and any family history of reading or learning challenges. This information helps educators gain a more complete picture of each student and supports instructional planning.

Completion of this form is voluntary and is used alongside other information to support student learning.
