Parents can play an immense role in supporting their children’s literacy learning at home, but how can primary teachers enlist the support of parents in helping children to learn literacy? This book provides practical answers to key questions that are relevant to primary teachers and many parents. It presents new ways of linking home and school through a range of activities including:
Teachers ands children making videos to show parents how children learn literacy in school
Parents and children taking photos of the ‘everyday’ literacy they use outside school
Parents and teachers exchanging information through Home-School folders and diaries.
Particular attention is given to ways of working with parents from a diverse range of family backgrounds reflecting the multi-ethnic nature of many schools today.
