The purpose of this study was to investigate the issues impacting the home-school connection, by exploring the following questions: What issues do parents face that affect the amount and quality of literacy activities taking place in the home, and what do parents suggest for teachers to strengthen the home-school connection? The study examined the underlying causes that prevent parents from supporting their children. The study also explored parents’ perceptions of the classroom teacher and her parent involvement techniques. Using active interviewing (Holstein & Gubrium, 1997), this study examined the responses of a teacher and parents to determine the issues that affect parents’ abilities to work with their children. The results of this study suggest that there are factors in the home environment that affect interactions that take place in the home. The study revealed that there is a need for teachers to understand the home environments that students come from. |
