Children learn more from their parents in their first five years than they do from their schools in the next ten. In this respect, all parents are teachers. In most families, however, this teaching relationship loses priority when the child starts school.

Originally published in 1984, this book describes a highly successful venture in parent/teacher cooperation in childrenâs learning, which developed from a project set up in 1979 in inner London. Working closely with teachers, parents were encouraged to give regular help at home with their childrenâs reading. In the years following, PACT (Parents, Children and Teachers) was widely implemented and led to great improvement in childrenâs reading and general motivation, and enthusiastic participation of parents in many areas of the curriculum.

The success of PACT at the time pointed to the need for a wider acceptance of parents as active participants in their childrenâs education. Parent, Teacher, Child is a handbook for the teacher interested in involving parents. In addition to the theoretical rationale for this approach, it offers practical advice, with illustrations drawn from a number of different schools, and information about how to set up and maintain such a scheme.
