Promoting Ongoing Partnerships in Family Literacy through Yearlong Collaborations
Traga Philippakos, Zoi A.; Ross, Rachael; Summers, Jessica
Early Childhood Education Journal, v51 n8 p1499-1510 2023
The purpose of this article is to discuss family literacy practices that can support a collaboration between families and children as well as families and schools in ways that can strengthen this relationship and motivate early childhood learners to engage in literacy. First, family literacy programs, initiatives, and practices are discussed, Next, a framework of family literacy is proposed that gives book access to parents, offers models and guidelines about how to use pedagogies and approaches teachers use in class when reading with children, and invites parents to school settings as partners who can enjoy literacy experiences with their children and enhance their children's literacy experiences in positive ways. Points to consider about this model along with some conclusions are presented. In addition, challenges with literacy-program implementation and its implications are discussed.
