LETŚ READ THEM A STORY

	La OECD acaba de publicar un informe con los resultados de un estudio que PISA (Programme for International Student Assesment) ha realizado en numerosos países y que muestra cómo la implicación de los padres en la educación de sus hijos es fundamental durante los años escolares y posteriormente. Pincha aquí para leer el artículo completo  "Let's Read Them a Story! The Parent Factor in Education". Education begins at home. The first simple word a parent speaks to an infant opens the world of language to the child and sets the child on the path of exploration and discovery. When formal schooling begins, many parents believe that their role as educators has ended. But education is a shared responsibility of parents, schools, teachers, and various institutions in the economy and in society. New findings from the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) show that parental involvement in education is pivotal for the success of children throughout their school years and beyond. The OECD is pleased to present its report, Let’s Read Them a Story! The Parent Factor in Education. The report examines whether and how parents’ involvement is related to their child’s proficiency in and enjoyment of reading -- and it also offers comfort to parents who are concerned that they don’t have enough time or the requisite academic knowledge to help their children succeed in school. Many types of parental involvement that are associated with better student performance in PISA require relatively little time and no specialised knowledge. What counts is genuine interest and active engagement. En pocas palabras: no requiere demasiado tiempo ni un conocimiento especializado pero su potencial educativo está demostrado leerles cuando son pequeños y charlar con ellos sobre la actualidad cuando son adolescentes.
