Time and time again, research supports parental involvement as a viable means of enhancing children's academic successes. The intention of "Read Your Heart Out" Day is to build positive family, community, and school relationships and to really encourage and to continue to support parent involvement in the schools. This national observation provides a vehicle to open up dialogue among teachers, parents, and students that will lead to a more conducive learning environment for every student, from kindergarten through college. Parents are encouraged to participate.
