Parent Participation in the Primary School.
Rathbone, M.; Graham, N.C.
Educational Studies, v7 n2 p145-50 1981
This experiment tested the hypothesis that language skills of seven- to eight-year-old children could be improved if parents were involved in the program. Three groups of 15 children were exposed to identical, single term programs. In two groups, parents worked in the classroom with the children. Findings supported the hypothesis. (AM)
