Engines, Numeracy and Literacy
pages, should be seen as a resource for children carrying on their studies
at home although the following sites offer useful information or resources
specifically for parents.
What
does the Internet offer parents?
What
can I do as a parent to support my child's reading?
The role
of parents is crucial in the scheme of things and there is a nationwide
reading awareness campaign on television, highlighting ways in which parents
can support their child's work in school. Here are some of the basic ideas
for supporting Literacy:
- Provide
some time each evening to listen to your child read.
- If
the child is older, or more independent, give them a quiet space to
enjoy their reading.
- Provide
and read a variety of texts - newspapers, magazines, teletext etc. This
provides the breadth of reading experience necessary to support the
work done in school as part of Literacy Hour.
- Talk
about diagrams and manuals or how recipes are organised.
- Perhaps
make a visit to the library and search for books on a school topic.
- Speak
to the class teacher, they will gladly tell you which areas of language
are being studied and how you can support the classwork.
- If
possible, try to set an example by finding the time to enjoy a book
yourself . Children often learn by what they see, rather than by what
they are told!
- Finally,
if you can spare the time, come into school to hear readers or help
with topic research. Both teachers and children appreciate the assistance
and you may really enjoy it!
