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