Applies To Parents Who: Not at all - everything that applies to parents, and especially to those with large families, applies to careworkers. One school had five or six children in care in aoca dinl&reri some, W&a&v was very enthusiastic about the link between the home and the school provided by the PACT scheme.
Much of what has been said elsewhere in this book also applies to the under-fives. But there are differences, a crucial one being that much time is spent by parents reading to their children. Most parents will have experienced their child's enjoyment and their own frustration at reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears for the sixteenth time in succession, and it is not always easy for parents to appreciate how much children will gain from this. Nor do they necessarily recognize that learning to read is not just about decoding symbols on a page.
This also applies to parents who are anxious and over-concerned about their child's progress or their own capacity to help. These parents may, however, need some extra help from the teacher. Whereas the so-called 'competitive' or 'pushy' parents will usually have the confidence to help their own child once they know how to do so, the anxious parent may need more support. One anxious mother we met said that her son finds her 'bossy' but sees his grandfather as kind and tolerant, and suggested that surely he would be a better person to hear the child read on a regular basis.
