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