Before Parents The Powerful: 4 I also put before parents the powerful argument that they have a wealth of talent which could be invaluable to the school. No one, I remind them, is without something to offer. Parents who may only be able to listen are of use to children to whom
no one ever listens.
The team also told us of the then very recent piece of research in Haringey in which Tizard, Schofield and Hewison2 had shown that reading standards are significandy raised where parents, in co-operation with schools, help their children with reading. We were excited by the dual discovery that parents so much want to be involved in dieir children's learning and are so powerful in promoting it. We realized that we were in an ideal position to help to propagate the idea of parental help: the
Children learn first and foremost from their parents. In this respect all parents are teachers - and very effective teachers they are. Arguably, children learn more from their parents in the first five years of life than they do from their schools in the next ten. This book is about parents and teachers working together to help children with their learning; more specifically, it is about parents co-operating with teachers over their own children's reading. We have chosen the term PACT (Parents, Children and Teachers) to embody this concept.
