Y cartref yw’r ffactor unigol pwysicaf o ran cyrhaeddiad addysgol a thrwy greu amgylchedd sy’n rhoi gwerth ar addysg ac sy’n cefnogi addysg y plentyn, mae rhieni’n rhoi mantais sylweddol i’w plentyn mewn bywyd.

 Yn rhan o’r Arolwg Cenedlaethol 2014\-15 cafodd cyfres o gwestiynau ar gymorth gan rieni o ran llythrennedd a rhifedd plant eu cynnwys er mwyn rhoi rhagor o dystiolaeth i gefnogi gwaith i sicrhau bod pob plentyn yn cael y cyfle i gyflawni ei botensial ac i bwysleisio pwysigrwydd sgiliau llythrennedd a rhifedd da.

 Gofynnwyd i rieni pa mor aml roedden nhw’n helpu eu plentyn â’i waith darllen, ysgrifennu a rhifau a pha mor hyderus oedden nhw yn eu gallu eu hunain i’w helpu.

 Dyma’r prif ganfyddiadau:

 * Roedd 81% o rieni â phlentyn rhwng 3 a 7 oed yn helpu eu plentyn o leiaf sawl gwaith yr wythnos â’i waith darllen ac ysgrifennu
* Roedd 69% o rieni yn helpu eu plentyn rhwng 3 a 7 oed o leiaf sawl gwaith yr wythnos â’i waith mathemateg neu rifau
* Roedd 76% yn hyderus iawn wrth helpu eu plentyn rhwng 3 a 11 oed â’i waith ysgrifennu Saesneg; roedd 79% yn hyderus iawn wrth helpu eu plentyn i ddarllen Saesneg
* Roedd 60% yn hyderus iawn wrth helpu eu plentyn rhwng 3 a 11 oed â’i waith mathemateg neu rifau
* Roedd 56% o siaradwyr Cymraeg yn hyderus iawn yn eu gallu eu hunain o ran darllen Cymraeg ac roedd 50% yn hyderus iawn yn eu gallu eu hunain i ysgrifennu Cymraeg er mwyn gallu helpu eu plentyn rhwng 3 a 11 oed â’i waith darllen ac ysgrifennu Cymraeg.

  Dywedodd yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet dros Addysg Kirsty Williams: 

 
> “Bydd gallu helpu plant i ddatblygu’r sgiliau holl bwysig hynny ar gyfer y dyfodol gartref – bod yn chwilfrydig, yn hyderus ac yn barod i ddysgu – yn helpu i greu profiadau positif a chyffrous o’u diwrnod cyntaf oll.
> 
>  “Mae’r dystiolaeth sydd wedi dod i’r amlwg o ganlyniad i’r arolwg hwn yn awgrymu bod rhieni eisoes yn ymwneud yn frwdfrydig ac yn hyderus ag addysg eu plant. Er hynny, mae mwy i’w wneud eto er mwyn helpu ysgolion, rhieni a’r gymuned ehangach i ddeall sut i weithio gyda’i gilydd yn effeithiol i roi i’n plant y cymorth sydd ei angen arnyn nhw.
> 
>  “Mae’r Arolwg Cenedlaethol yn ffordd ddibynadwy i ni glywed gan rieni am safon yr addysg mae eu plant yn ei derbyn; rhan holl bwysig wrth ddatblygu system addysg hunanwella i ysgolion.
> 
>  “Mae’r canlyniadau hefyd yn rhoi i ni dystiolaeth gadarn i ddeall anghenion rhieni a disgyblion fel ei gilydd wrth i ni ddatblygu gwaith polisi ymhellach yn y maes yma a pharhau i hyrwyddo ein hymgyrch Mae Addysg yn Dechrau yn y Cartref o wybod am bwysigrwydd canolog rhieni ac amgylchedd lle bydd plant yn dysgu yn y cartref hefyd.”

 Ein hymgyrch ar\-lein yw Mae Addysg yn Dechrau yn y Cartref ac mae wedi’i bwriadu i annog rhieni a gofalwyr i gymryd diddordeb yn addysg eu plentyn a’u gwneud yn ymwybodol fod y pethau bach maen nhw’n ei wneud gyda’u plentyn gartref yn eu helpu hefyd yn yr ysgol. Mae ein tudalen Facebook yn cynnig awgrymiadau defnyddiol i rieni a gofalwyr ar sut i helpu eu plentyn.

The home is the single biggest factor in educational attainment and by creating an environment that values education and supports a child’s learning, parents are giving their child a significant head start in life.

 As part of the National Survey 2014\-15, a set of questions on parental support with literacy and numeracy were included to provide further evidence to support work to ensure all children have the opportunity to fulfil their potential, and emphasising the importance of good literacy and numeracy skills.

 Parents were asked how frequently they helped their child with reading, writing and numbers and how confident they were in their own ability to help.

 The key findings include:

 * 81% of parents with a child aged 3 to 7 supported their child at least several times a week with reading and writing
* 69% of parents supported their child aged 3 to 7 at least several times a week with maths or numbers
* 76% were very confident helping their child aged 3 to 11 with writing in English; 79% were very confident helping their child with reading in English
* 60% were very confident helping their child aged 3 to 11 with maths or numbers
* 56% of Welsh speakers were very confident in their own Welsh reading ability, and 50% very confident in their own Welsh writing ability to be able to help their child aged 3 to 11 with their Welsh reading and writing.

  Cabinet Secretary for Education Kirsty Williams said: 

 
> “Being able to help children to develop those all\-important life skills at home – being curious, confident and ready to learn – will help make it a positive and exciting experience from their very first day.
> 
>  “This survey provides some very welcome evidence to suggest that parents are already actively and confidently engaging in their children’s education. However, there is still more work to do to help schools, parents, and the wider community, understand how to work together effectively to give our children the support they need.
> 
>  “The National Survey gives us a reliable way of hearing from parents about the quality of the education their children receive; a crucial part in developing a self\-improving education system.
> 
>  “The results also provide us with a robust evidence base for understanding the needs of both parents and pupils as we further develop policy in this area and continue to promote our Education Begins at Home campaign, knowing as we do the central importance of parents and the home learning environment.”

 Education begins at home is our online campaign aimed at encouraging getting parents and carers to take an interest in their child’s learning and making them aware that the little things they do with their child at home, helps them in school. Our Facebook page provides parents and carers with useful tips and hints on how to help their child.
