Parents’ Comfort Level: Does it Reflect in the Help They Provide Their Children During Home Learning?

摘要

In recent years the literature on parental involvement and how it affects children during home learning has emphasized the relevance of promoting student achievement through parental involvement. Research points to a strong connection on the positive effects for families, children, and school when schools extend themselves to parents and involve them to support their children’s development and learning (Olsen u26 Fuller, 2003) Consequently, the purpose of this research is to attempt to investigate if parents’ comfort level with reading reflects the help that they provide their children at home with their home learning. Our goal is to increase parents’ level of efficacy in relation to helping their children with home learning as it relates to the reading benchmarks.
