Parent Hub

You don't need to be a teacher to help your child learn.

Practical, no-jargon guidance for Ugandan parents — reading development, home study routines, revision plans and PLE support, all in one place.

What we cover

Support for every stage of primary learning

Reading Development

How to build a reading routine that lasts — book picks by age, paired-reading tricks and how to handle a reluctant reader.

Home Learning Support

Setting up a calm study corner, helping with homework without doing it for them, and balancing screens with study.

Revision & Timetables

Printable revision timetables for P.4–P.7, plus how to break the term into manageable study blocks.

Study Tips by Age

What works for Baby Class is very different from what works for P.7 — practical tips for every stage.

Parenting & Motivation

Praise that works, handling exam stress, and rebuilding confidence after a bad term.

PLE Parent Guide

The PLE year in plain language — what your child needs from you in Term 1, 2 and 3.

Parent reads

Three things every parent can try this week

10 minutes a day: the reading habit that changes results

Children who read aloud to a parent for ten unbroken minutes a day move up a reading level in eight weeks, on average. Here's how to start.

How to talk to your child after a bad mark

Don't lead with the score. Lead with one question: 'Which part did you find hardest?' — and listen before you respond.

A simple Term 3 revision plan for P.7 parents

Three subjects a week, one past paper every Saturday, one rest day. That's it. Anything more is noise.

Parent voices

What parents tell us

"The parent guides took the guesswork out of helping my children. Now I know exactly what they should be revising each term."

Mrs. Nantongo MaryParent of P.5 and P.7 pupils, Kampala

"My son went from being scared of mathematics to looking forward to his revision sessions. The PASS PLE workbook explained everything in plain Luganda and English."

Mr. Mugisha DavidParent of a PLE candidate, Mbarara
