Understanding Literacies in Latinx Families: Teachers Using Home Visits to Reimagine Classroom Practices
Paulick, Judy; Kibler, Amanda K.; Palacios, Natalia
Reading Teacher, v76 n5 p578-585 Mar-Apr 2023
Children from Latinx families bring rich and varied literacy practices and cultural models to their classrooms. When teachers are able to recognize these assets, they have opportunities to make their teaching more responsive and engaging. One way to learn about these assets is through relationship-building, assets-framed home visits. In this article, we remind teachers of the exciting breadth of family literacy practices, particularly with regard to Latinx families and children. We provide guidance for home visits that center and honor families, build relationships, and inform teachers. We conclude with suggestions for translating what teachers learn into richer literacy instruction.
