Why is parent involvement necessary?
According to research, parent or guardian involvement is a key factor in a child’s academic success. Therefore, parent or guardian involvement plays an important role in the development of the guidelines for the reading programs. Teachers plan meeting to:

- Provide materials for parents to use at home
- Answer questions parents or guardians have regarding the reading or math programs
