What Should We Expect of Family Literacy?: Experiences of Latino Children Whose Parents Participate in an Intergenerational Literacy Project (Literacy Studies (Paperback Springer))

This detailed account explores the effects of parental involvement in a literacy project on Latino children's academic performance. The authors investigate the ways that parents who participate in an Intergenerational Literacy Project support their children's academic achievement, the ways these children use literacy at home alone and with their parents, and the nature of the school experiences of these children. A "must have" for preschool and elementary teachers who teach diverse classes, and for those involved in family literacy programs.
