Explain the value of working in partnership with parents/families to support children’s language and literacy learning.
The value of working in partnership with parents/ families is as follows,
Firstly this is a collaborative relationship between Educational staff, the child/ student and their families. The value of working with parents and families to support children’s language and literacy are important as this gives the educational staff to communicate with the parties involved so that everyone has an understanding of the child /students need. Understanding that each and every partnership built between families and educational staff will be different and unique depending on the individual child and their family.
Each family will respond better to feeling like they can approach educational staff or vice versa, if this partnership has been developed in the first place.
In saying this the value of this being so that if the family is aware of any concerns they may have for their child / student they can forward this to the educational staff. That way the child can get help and assistance for any of the parent concerns shown. The benefits of this can be that the child / student can be assisted in their language and literacy development, for present and future time which ever setting the child may be in. The help that is available for the children / students of today is to help in all aspects with cultural barriers, beliefs and values,
Explain the importance of active participation of children and young people in decisions affecting their lives The importance of active participation of children and young people in decisions affecting their lives is you can find out what the child or family actually want or need. It’s very important to listen to their views and communicate with parents and respect their points of view you need to communicate well with children and take into account that young children may use non-verbal communication.

Learning provision for literacy development is important for pupils for several reasons. When pupils are developing their language skills they are learning to communicate with others in a variety of ways through speaking reading and writing. The three areas of language interact with each other to promote the child’s self expression and imagination. Children need to be given opportunity’s to use and extend their language in all subject areas so they can develop higher level thinking. [ Louise burnham, Brenda Baker,2010,pg206]
Support is offered to children to enable them to be healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution and achieve economic well-being.
Effective communication with children is important to make sure that they understand the language of learning so that they can grasp concepts and ideas, actively take part in problem solving and successfully develop their own ideas and opinions. It is important for children to be able to feel welcome in the classroom environment and valued within the school. Encouraging children to ask questions, give their own answers and contribute to class activities will help to develop a positive working relationship with the children. It is
When communicating with children, a number of skills need to be demonstrated to communicate effectively.

The learning provisions for development in literacy are extremely important and can be reached by using their language skills. They learn to communicate with others through three main ways: they are Speaking, Reading and Writing. These three areas interact with each other and develop the Childs self-expression and imagination. They must be given the opportunity within all different subject areas to use and extend their language so that their thinking skills progress to a higher level.
Also, as a practitioner working in partnership with Mr and Mrs Khan, this will strengthen our relationship better and if there is any problems going on in school we can talk to the parents about it and not hide it. An example of this, is when the social services work closely to this family it is important that they have built a trusting relationship. This is because if they had to go to court the social services can support them and be on their side. If we all work together as part of a team it will stimulate, motivate and encourage to support one and another when needed. We could support Mr and Mrs Khan much better if we work together as a team. Effective multi agencies will not have to be independent and try and get the information by their self, this is important when working together you share the responsibilities and don’t allow one person to do it. When working together we can change Mr and Mrs Khan views about others schools not meeting their child's needs and they might adapt new ways. By this I mean, Mr Khan not working every night as this will allow us at Park Lane Primary school to discuss children's needs and if the speech and language therapist want to speak to them about Taneesh hearing problem. An example of this could be, speech and language therapist can give Mr and Mrs Khan
The welfare of the child is paramount and that is why partnership with parents is crucial. Many schools and nurseries also have bi-lingual staff for children who do not speak English fluently so that the parents are fully aware of what is going on in a school at
The second is Communication between the Home and School. In order to help families create settings within the home to support their children as students we, the teachers, can provide suitable materials which give information and assistances on how the parents can help at home. Through pamphlets, e-mails, and phone calls teachers can inspire and encourage parents to converse and work with their child. Through our involvement with the families, parents become more aware of their child’s school platform, they interact on a more positive level with their children they are more skilled to reinforce the teacher's objectives in order to achieve better schoolwork. When we give parents information to become more knowledgeable partners with the school, their child sees that their parents and teachers are communicating with one another about their schoolwork, which allows them to become more aware of their parents involvement and abilities. This will open up the opportunity for the child and parents to talk openly about the child’s schoolwork and the decisions the child makes at school.

Through this week learning resources, I have learned that there are evidences that demonstrate that when a child has limited experiences he or she is more likely to have difficult comprehending what is read. It is why early childhood professionals affirm that oral language is the foundation for literacy development. Everything that children learn about speaking and listening they use for writing and reading and what they learn from writing and reading they use in listening and speaking. In other words, oral language and literacy develop simultaneously. When parents provide rich language and literacy reinforcement at home, children do better in school than those who do not. It is also known for early childhood professionals that for a child with limited experiences is more difficult comprehending what is read. For example, a child who has being exposed to many environments like a farm or like a museum will have more mentally engagement in classrooms activities about things he or she already know that children who have not had experience in those environments. Many researches showed that children that have not have a literacy development or an oral language development years before formal schooling, are less likely to be successful beginning readers, opening an achievement lag that might last through the primary grades. Some of the reasons why parents are not actively involved into their children’s educations are their socioeconomic or legal status. For example, in an immigrant family sometimes both parents have to work and sometimes they have to work two shifts. I have known families where children are the whole day in school and with nannies. Those children do not develop any skills that help them to succeed at the time of attending forming school.
