Parents Can Help: Children learn first and foremost from their parents can help. In this respect all parents can help are teachers - and very effective teachers they are. Arguably, children learn more from their parents can help in the first five years of life than they do from their schools in the next ten. This book is about parents can help and teachers working together to help children with their learning; more specifically, it is about parents can help co-operating with teachers over their own children's reading. We have chosen the term PACT (parents can help, Children and Teachers) to embody this concept.
It cannot be stressed enough that the school is entering into a partnership, and that the parents can help 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 parents can help 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 parents can help much too complex, because of anxiety about parents can help getting it 'wrong'.
Children do have all kinds of pressures put on them parents can help 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 parents can help clearly, aj continue, often over a long period of time, to help tho parents can help who particularly need its support.
Children whose parents can help aren't interested parents can help 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 parents can help, the rate of take-up on th home reading schemes we have described is extremely higr.
