Abstract
Investigates whether parent participation could improve student achievement in one of the author’s ninth-grade sheltered English classes. Describes how parents wrote essays with their children, participated in a goal-setting conference, and took part in a literary correspondence discussing “Romeo and Juliet.” Discusses the benefits for the teacher, parents, and students of such parent participation in ninth-grade English.
