“Read with me”: How teachers in Aarhus support parents to improve their children's reading skills

Learning Points

While we are still waiting for the full evaluation, the most important learning point from the Early Child Programme is that governments can actually successfully increase the level of citizen co-production and, by doing so, improve outcomes for the citizens and civic society.

We have also learned that even small-scale co-production initiatives require cooperation and extensive coordination between different organisations to succeed. Both the Early Child Programme and READ are based on a strong partnership between local government, schools and daycare institutions and two universities.
