Book excerpt: The vast majority of parents is committed to their childrenâs literacy success and would do whatever it takes to find a solution if and when their children struggle with reading. They know how important it is. Parents want to know, they ask: What can I do to help my child learn to read? How are children taught to read and write at school? How can I avoid feeling frustrated especially when I have told my child the same word five times and he still does not know it? How do I eliminate the stress associated with reading at home? She wants me to read the same book again and again â what can I do? He says he hates reading â what can I do about that? The only thing I know to say is what I remember from when I was at school â I say âSound it outâ, but is doesnât seem to work with most words. What else can I say? What can I do to help when English is my second language and I cannot read well myself? I worry that it will have a negative impact on my childâs reading. Will it? These are just a few of the many questions that parents ask. Children benefit when parents and teachers collaborate to share information and seek answers to these questions. Fundamental to understanding what is happening in todayâs classrooms is communication, and this guide informs parents about current, effective literacy practices and why they are important. Often, sensational, misconstrued and ill-informed reports are perpetuated in the media leaving parents confused and worried. With this guide, PETAA seeks to eliminate some of these fears. Reading and writing together with your child should not be construed as a test. Rather, it is an opportunity for you to get to know your child as a learner, a learner striving to be literate.
