Parent Advocacy Pocket Guide

The Parent Advocacy Pocket Guide offers essential guidance for parents who suspect that their child may need help with literacy. It emphasises the importance of early intervention and underscores the role of parents as advocates for their children's educational needs. The guide advises parents to first observe their child's reading and writing habits, noting any struggles or signs of frustration. It then provides practical tips on initiating open and non-judgmental conversations with teachers or specialists, seeking assessment and support, and collaborating with educators to develop a personalised plan for literacy improvement. By empowering parents with knowledge and resources, this guide aims to ensure that every child has the opportunity to flourish academically and develop a strong foundation in literacy.
