Descrizione articolo

Riassunto:

This book fills an important void in the largely unstudied field of family literacy, providing teachers and teacher educators with much-needed theoretical perspectives underlying family literacy and their links to effective instructional practice and outcomes. Four areas of focus address the full scope of family literacy issues; theoretical perspectives related to family literacy; specific practices and strategies used to promote family literacy in collaboration with schools and communities; a close look at a variety of family literacy programs; and evaluating family literacy programs and their participants. With increased emphasis on the role of parents and adult caretakers in helping young children learn to read, this book will be a valuable tool for educators and community organizations setting up effective family literacy programs.
