Paper Introduction:
BUILDING HOME-SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS CAN SUPPORT
CHILDREN WHO STRUGGLE WITH LITERACY
INTRODUCTION
While levels of achievement are not always empirically correlated with parental involvement, research consistently demonstrates the importance of parental commitment in their child's education (Finn 1998; Lazar and Slostad 1999). This research paper investigated the efficacy of home-school partnerships for the support of children who struggle with literacy. Since literacy continues to be a topic of concern, and studies show that effort is required to maximize parental interest in education, an investigation into the efficacy of home school partnerships for support of childhood learning was warranted (Cassidy and Wenrich 1999; Lazar and Slostad 1999).
