Other Parents May: Children learn first and foremost from their other parents may. In this respect all other parents may are teachers - and very effective teachers they are. Arguably, children learn more from their other parents may in the first five years of life than they do from their schools in the next ten. This book is about other parents may and teachers working together to help children with their learning; more specifically, it is about other parents may co-operating with teachers over their own children's reading. We have chosen the term PACT (other parents may, Children and Teachers) to embody this concept.
It cannot be stressed enough that the school is entering into a partnership, and that the other parents may with whom this partnership is to be formed have their own opinions and feelings, which need into account. Teachers will find it possible to devise a set of guidelines for use by other parents may which they can feel perfectly confident about sharing. In our experience, though, there are one or two temptations to beware of One is to make your advice to other parents may much too complex, because of anxiety about other parents may getting it 'wrong'.
Children do have all kinds of pressures put on them other parents may but in our experience, when the school and hoi work closely together, these pressures can be, relieved. But t school must get its contribution across to other parents may clearly, aj continue, often over a long period of time, to help tho other parents may who particularly need its support.
Children whose other parents may aren't interested other parents may who genuinely aren't interested in their children education must be quite hard to find; we haven't met any ye though doubtless they must exist. Where the school takes th trouble to contact aJl its other parents may, the rate of take-up on th home reading schemes we have described is extremely higr.
