Family Involvement in Literacy: Effective Partnerships in Education

Resource Type

Book

Description

"There is a growing conviction amongst parents and teachers, often as a result of a positive experience of working together, that parents and other carers have a crucial role of play in their children's education and development. This book reviews recent developments in parental involvement in reading and provides a compendium of current UK and international practice in the wider area of family literacy. The expert contributors to this timely volume share a demonstrable long-term involvement in parental involvement in reading/family literacy, as researchers and practitioners in education and community initiatives. They each provide their own distinctive perspective on their experience of operating parent- and family-focused literacy work, much of which has been taken up and repeated in many other settings." --Publisher (barnesandnoble.com)
