TL;DR: Both home‐based and school‐based ways of working with parents were devised and tried out with families in the Sheffield Early Literacy Development Project and it was found that parents were willing and able to engage in a dialogue about their children's home literacy and that the Project changed their approach to children's literacy experiences.

What does research say about parental participation in children's reading development?

TL;DR: In this article, a review focusing on the learning of reading in the primary school, and the effects of various forms of parental participation on its effectiveness is presented, focusing on three categories: (1) descriptions of parental involvement programmes; (2) studies of the attitudes of parents, teachers and teacher educators to such programmes; and (3) studies on the outcomes that result from parental participation, particularly in the area of academic achivement.

Involving parents in the teaching of reading: a study of current school practice

TL;DR: The authors found that whilst there was general support for the idea of parental involvement in the teaching of reading, this stopped short of helping parents hear their own children read at home, and an examination of the schools’ practice suggested that at present comparatively few children regularly take school reading books to read to themselves at home.
