Researches have shown that the family makes critical contributions to a child’s achievements from early childhood through high school. Talking and playing with infants, reading bedtime stories with toddlers, playing math and reading games with elementary school students, helping middle school students with their homework, and establishing appropriate boundaries for teenagers are foundations for success in school. Many families, however, require assistance in providing these basics of a supportive home learning environment. When parents, families, and members of community are involved with schools, all children benefit. Adult participation sends the message that school is important and the work children do there is worthy of adult attention.
