\u201cCumulative evidence from several decades of research points to several benefits of family involvement for children\u2019s learning, including helping children get ready to enter school, promoting their school success, and preparing youth for college.\u00a0Read the first in a series of research briefs<\/a>\u00a0examining family involvement across the developmental continuum, focused on family involvement in early childhood.<\/p>

Summary<\/b><\/p>

Family involvement can help children get ready to enter school.<\/b>\u00a0In the early childhood years, family involvement is clearly related to children\u2019s literacy outcomes. For example, one study revealed that children whose parents read to them at home recognize letters of the alphabet sooner than those whose parents do not.<\/p>

Family involvement can promote children\u2019s success.<\/b> For school-age children, family involvement is also important. Children whose parents participate in school activities tend to have high-quality work habits and task orientation compared to children whose parents do not participate. Moreover, parents who provide support with homework have children who tend to perform better in the classroom.\u00a0<\/p>

Family involvement can benefit all children, especially those less likely to succeed in school.<\/b> Family involvement has been shown to benefit children from diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds.\u00a0<\/p>

And a video that we hope will get you thinking\u2026.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
