Achievement Matters: Getting Your Child the Best Education Possible

Description

From Publishers Weekly As president of the National Urban League, Hugh B. Price established the Campaign for African-American Achievement, a program to advance American children's academic success. He shares the program's philosophy in Achievement Matters: Getting Your Child the Best Education Possible. Advising parents to "encourage children to read anything, from baseball cards to comic books," to "take your youngsters on field trips and to work" and to "make sure [your child's] school knows that you are actively involved in your child's education," Price lays out a plan for parents to inspire their children to achieve.

Read more From Library Journal President of the National Urban League (NUL) since 1994, Price seeks to empower blacks by promoting education as the great equalizer in American society. His inspiring stories and practical tips urge parents and caregivers to unlock their children's potential by emphasizing the following: communicate the love of learning and reading; encourage children to seek out friends who are serious about their academic achievement; encourage the use of language to express feelings and needs; read aloud to young children, beginning with bedtime stories; take children on outings where reading and discussion are a natural part of the experience. Educators can utilize this valuable resource to enable parents and community members to become active partners in their children's academic success. Public library education reform, community programs, and general education collections will make a good home for Price's work, which builds on his earlier To Be Equal (o.p.) and complements a NUL/Scholastic booklet Read and Rise: Preparing Our Children for a Lifetime of Success ( and Janie Victoria Ward's The Skin We're In: Teaching Our Children To Be Emotionally Strong, Socially Smart, and Spiritually Connected. Highly recommended for all collections. Leroy Hommerding, Ft. Myers Beach P.L. Dist., FLCopyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. Read more
