Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 20, Issue 8
Abstract
Scholars widely recognize parental involvement in education as a significant factor in children's academic success, particularly in the domain of reading. This systematic review aimed to examine the role of parental involvement in the implementation of reading programs and its effect on the reading achievement of elementary school learners. Through a comprehensive search of academic databases, relevant studies published in peer-reviewed journals between 2010 and 2023 were identified and analyzed. The review included various forms of parental involvement, such as participation in reading-related activities at home, communication between parents and teachers, and parental engagement in school-based reading initiatives. Findings indicated a positive association between parental involvement in reading programs and children's reading achievement. Specifically, active parental engagement, such as reading with children at home, providing a print-rich environment, and communicating regularly with teachers about their child's progress, was consistently linked with higher levels of reading proficiency among elementary school learners. Moreover, the review highlighted the importance of collaborative efforts between schools and families in designing and implementing reading programs. Programs that actively involved parents in decision-making processes, provided resources and support for parental involvement, and fostered positive relationships between parents and educators were more likely to yield significant improvements in students' reading outcomes. However, challenges related to parental involvement, such as socioeconomic disparities, language barriers, and varying levels of parental education, were also identified. Addressing these challenges required tailored strategies that recognized and accommodated the diverse needs and circumstances of families. In conclusion, this review underscored the crucial role of parental involvement in enhancing the effectiveness of reading programs and promoting reading achievement among elementary school learners. It provided insights for educators, policymakers, and practitioners to develop evidence-based strategies that fostered meaningful partnerships between schools and families to support children's literacy development. The researcher further recommended further research to explore the specific mechanisms through which parental involvement influences reading outcomes and to identify best practices for promoting sustained engagement among diverse populations.
