S ummary . This study compared the effectiveness of two methods of parental involvement in the development of their children's reading. Each method was adopted with a group of 10 children who were sub‐divided with respect to whether their progress during the 6‐week project was monitored by home visit or telephone. The results suggest that both methods can lead to substantial improvement in reading ability. The failure to find a significant difference between methods suggests that the simpler and more cost‐effective approach, Relaxed Reading, is to be preferred.
