This book
discusses what can be done to extend literacy and raise literacy
standards for all sections of the population, the relationship between
home learning and school learning, and the role of parents in their
children's education, focusing on the situation in England. It is
designed to assist teachers who work cooperatively with parents
in the education of their children. The book brings together several
lines of research and offers new ways of thinking about parental
involvement which will interest both researchers and practitioners.
Eleven chapters focus on: (1) the meaning of literacy; (2) the changing
role of parental involvement in their children's literacy education;
(3) the case for significant parental involvement in their children's
education; (4) working with parents of preschool children; (5) working
with parents of school-aged children; (6) the importance of having
parents hear their children read; (7) prescriptive approaches to
hearing reading, behaviorist programs, in-school activities, and
family literacy; (8) the need for evaluation and research; (9) evaluation
by tests; (10) evaluation by participants; and (11) an assessment
of the research on parental involvement in literacy education. Contains
approximately 220 references. (MDM)
