Here are some tips suggested by phase 4 schools that may help make your HLP information sessions for parents successful-
- Use a writing session for pupils to write individual invitations to their parents. Add a reply section.
- ask the pupils to lead some sessions, for example, showing parents how to play spelling games using made up words
- Have an HLP wall display in the school’s entrance to catch parents’ interest prior to the event. Include photographs of the pupils in action.
- consider having an open afternoon for parents to see how the HLP works in their child’s own classroom
- include a book bring and swap table for parents
These are just a few suggestions. Please let me know if you have tried some more ideas.
