What Teachers, Parents, Grandparents and the Press are saying about our book Teaching Parents How To Teach.
Melissa Haffner- Grade 1 Teacher, Vancouver
“I have been a primary teacher for 9 years, and I am now a mother of two young girls. As a teacher you read many educational resources, Teaching Parents How to Teach is the first book that I have come across that caters to the parent. It has become an incredibly useful resource for me, and I currently use the printing guide to help parents of my students teach. This book is a must have for parents today, and it emphasizes the importance of establishing a positive learning experience at home.”
Colleen Anderson, Kindergarten Teacher Vancouver
"Having used “Teaching Parents How to Teach” in my Kindergarten class, I highly recommend it as an excellent and easy to use resource. It is clearly laid out, informative and very user friendly. I found it especially useful to laminate copies of the activity pages and incorporate them into our daily literacy centres. My students enjoy using whiteboard markers to complete the activities. They find it fun and enjoyable, while at the same time developing important hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. I believe this book is a valuable tool for multi-sensory learning and is a must have for any parent or educator of young children."
Suzanne Yahn - Primary Teacher, Surrey Connect: A Distributed Learning School
"Teaching Parents How to Teach is an excellent resource for parents of primary aged children. It offers valuable teaching tools that are clearly understood, easy to use, and meaningful to children's development in language arts and math. We were fortunate to have these wonderful authors present some of these tools in a parent workshop at our school. The book and the workshop have been embraced so enthusiastically that we have provided each family with a copy. I would definitely recommend this book to other families who are home schooling their children or want to support what their children are learning at school."
Tracey MacLeod – Grade 3 Teacher, Vancouver
"I have worked with Jill Whitehouse for 3 years and have seen the difference she has made in so many children’s lives and learning. As a teacher and expectant parent, I am thrilled that she put down even some of her expertise into this amazing book. It contains easy-to-use, concrete strategies that any parent can do with their child. I have shared this book with not only the parents of my students but also with many of my friends who have children. It is my new favourite gift to give on any occasion and it is always received with great thanks. I highly recommend that after you purchase and use this resource your child that you pass it along to those you care about as well."
