After reading the article “Parenting for Literacy Development and Educational Success:” I discovered some interesting information that I found important to me as a parent and teacher that will impact my work at home and school. This article explains a study Parent Education Profile (PEP) which is an instrument that rates parents’ support for children’s literacy development. Literacy is involved in every subject that students will encounter in school. That is why I believe that any programs, strategies, or assistance that will help improve our student’s literacy development is important to help our students make progress in learning. I also believe that improving parent involvement will help our students as well.
In the article, it mention that parents are mainly responsible for children’s literacy and educational achievement. As a parent, I will say I agree, yet I have heard others say that the teacher is mainly responsible.

So, I can see that it is true that single moms make up a high percentage of the children household in our school today.

One strategy to help parents would be to conduct a workshop, or multiple session workshops, for parents in help them learn how to participate in their children’s learning process. It is also stated that schools must empower parents who may feel “less useful in school work due to lack of formal literacy skills” (Njeru, 2015). Many parents in low SES communities do not have the skills to work with their children at home. Classes should be held in order to teach the skills that parents need. Once parents are given the training that they need they can help their students succeed.

By working in partnership with parents, practitioners are able to get some information based on the child to help with the planning of activities for the child. In addition to working with parents, the setting would have the support of parents therefore; the child’s emergent literacy is more likely to develop at home. This is because if parents are supportive, they may be reading to the child at home or encouraged to do so by the setting not only in the early years but also from year 1 (key stage 1). Also, working with parents allows the sharing of information. Whilst in the setting, the practitioners will need to plan activities based on the child’s interests but also their age and stage of development based on the EYFS.

Value is placed on the level of popularity and social status, which can also be linked to material items such as money, shoes, clothing, houses and cars. Teenagers find looks very important.

This also included the teacher’s ability to adapt their teaching style and lessons to the spoken dialect of the child. Another consideration in reading achievement of children with an AAE dialect was the parental literacy, willingness, and capability to promote comprehension. Family factors that provide emphasis on reading ability are: (a) identifying any family history of reading difficulties; (b) literacy of those within the home environment; (c) conversational skills provided in a child’s environment; (d) non-English speaking family members; (e) dialects of American English; and (f) the socioeconomic status of the home, neighborhood, and school.

I found that it is important that I assess ELL students when they come into to my classroom because I need to know what that ELL student already knows, so that I can effectively understand how to move on instructing and assessing the ELL student (Lenski. 2006, P. 25). This article has also taught me that it is important to include parents in their child’s education. Parents can help in completing predictability logs, which can be very useful for me to use when figuring out how much the child already knows. The predictability log will help me to understand the ELL’s prior literacy experiences (Lenski. 2006, P. 26).

The most accurate predictor of students achievement in school is not income or social stature, but the extent to which that family is able to play an active role in their education. By creating a home environment that encourages learning and expresses high expectation with proper support, children are able to flourish.
