Learn Together, Grow Together — Why Kids and Adults Do Better When They Learn Alongside Each Other
For Parents
If you’re looking for a way to improve your child’s learning in reading and writing as well as your own learning, you’ve come to the right place. Growing alongside your child could lead to efficient academic improvement for both of you, as well as strengthened relationships and increased quality time.
For PTAs
Your teachers are absolutely incredible, but there’s something special about education programs that let parents and children learn alongside each other, too. Below, we describe why this is, the benefits that can come from kids and parents learning together, and an opportunity to offer this type of programming while fundraising for your organization at the same time.For Principals
If your school district has parents interested in supporting kids from home or improving their own education, consider encouraging them to learn together. This style of supplemental education can make an impact on student achievement, adult career opportunities, family relationships, lifelong learning opportunities, and more.More About Kids and Adults Learning Together
There’s nothing wrong with students learning in school. In fact, it’s an essential piece of our society’s growth. But how can we effectively expand the educations of kids and parents alike? By allowing them to learn together.An Awesome Example of Parents and Children Learning Better Together
A University of British Columbia research study followed the early childhood education of 500 immigrant and refugee families with three to five-year-old children. They assigned early learning work to the students and asked parents to participate alongside them. They found impressive levels of improved literacy skills for parents and children alike, as well as primary languages being maintained.
- Parents shared that they were able to alternate between their native language and English as they read to children, making learning easier on both ends
- Families learned that continuing their native language at home was helpful, not harmful, to English learning experiences.
When these results take place in the real world, they lead to several benefits that come with family learning — higher levels of student achievement, better jobs for parents, increased well-being for the whole family unit, better-connected family homes, and more.
