Parents Information sessions

June 10, 2008

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.
