People for Education on how to help your child succeed

If you have a bit of time on your hands, there's a new People for Education report out that might make interesting reading. I can't find it online yet, but will post a link when I do. In the meantime, here's the Coles Notes version thanks to the Toronto Star:  http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1049486

The most important things researchers say parents can do for their kids’ success at school:  Let your child know you have high but reasonable expectations.
  Talk with your child about school regularly.
  Focus on attitude rather than marks.
  Read to, or with, your child.

UPDATE: Here's a summary of the report or, if you're ambitious, read the whole thing.
