This study focuses on knowing how at-home reinforcement of reading concepts can affect second grade students' improvement in reading. The intervention was geared to implement at-home reinforcement in reading concepts to improve grade-two elementary school students' performance in reading. In this study, the questions addressed were the following: How does at-home reinforcement impact grade-two elementary school students' performance in reading? What part does at-home reinforcement play in student improvement in reading? What percentage of students had improved reading scores impacted by the intervention? What are teachers' perceptions regarding at-home reinforcement? The extent to which parental involvement through "at-home" reinforcement of reading concepts affects grade-two students' improvement in reading was not known previously. This research found that parent involvement makes a positive impact on student reading achievement. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
