Parental Involvement
Findings and Recommendations
Research provides compelling evidence that parental involvement has a positive effect on a student's academic achievement. (Clark, 1983; Comer, 1980; Eccles, Arberton, et al., 1993; Eccles-Parsons, Adler, and Kaczala, 1982; Epstein, 1983, 1984.)
Reading A-Z Alignment with Research
Reading A-Z offers hundreds of developmentally appropriate books that can be downloaded from any Internet-connected computer and printed for pennies per book. Many of these books have English, Spanish, and French versions. Reading A-Z books can become a part of each child’s book collection at home for repeated practice with parents and other caretakers.
