Abstract
Statistics show that 900,000 people in Quebec have reading and writing difficulties. There is a connection between learning difficulties in school and illiteracy. These concern reading in particular, and since reading is the basis of learning in all school subjects, it is therefore essential that the child develops reading abilities early during the primary school years. Knowledge about writing is first learned at a young age within the family. However, parents who themselves have problems with writing feel they are unable to support their children’s development and admit their need for help. The research objectives were to experiment and to evaluate a programme designed to improve the parents’ abilities at awakening their children to the written word. In light of the evidence of the parents’ progress and of their new skills acquired during this experiment, this programme appears to have significant potential for parental skill development.
