Abstract

This study compared the effectiveness of two methods of parental involvement in the development of their children's reading. Each method was adopted with a group of 10 children who were sub-divided with respect to whether their progress during the 6-week project was monitored by home visit or telephone. The results suggest that both methods can lead to substantial improvement in reading ability. The failure to find a significant difference between methods suggests that the simpler and more cost-effective approach, Relaxed Reading, is to be preferred.
