About this book
Parents already contribute much to their children's learning, and with comparatively little effort can do much more. It is now firmly established that where parents and teachers cooperate over children's education, the effects on learning are remarkable. Originally published in 1987, this practical handbook describes how you can cooperate with your child's teachers to help your child with reading, writing, mathematics and other curriculum areas. What matters is the approach to learning, rather than specific knowledge: enjoyment, interest and fun are the keynotes for success. This book will help all parents to help their children.
