Parents as Reading Partners at Tremont Elementary School
Parents As Reading Partners (PARP) is a collaborative effort among parents, staff, and community to build a reading partnership between the home and the school.
PARP programs encourage parents to read with their children for at least 15 minutes per day.
Learning to read is the single most important activity in a child’s education. Studies show that children who read at home are better prepared to succeed in formal education.**(statement taken from the NYSPTA.ORG: New York State PTA website)
