Family Literacy Practices in Asian and Latinx Families : Educational and Cultural Considerations Paperback / softback
Edited by Jorge E. Gonzalez, Jeffrey Liew, Gayle A. Curtis, Yali Zou
Part of the Critical Cultural Studies of Childhood series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book focuses on the literacy beliefs and practices of parents and children from Asian and Latinx heritage backgrounds.
In the US, children from Asian and Latinx immigrant backgrounds represent the largest population of dual language learners in schools.
While existing research has paid significant attention to the roles of parenting and the home literacy environment on children's literacy development, relatively little attention has been allocated to immigrant families.
Chapters aim to meet the need in the field to understand the roles of culture and immigrant experiences on children's literacy learning and development, including immigrant families' home environments and parents' involvement in literacy-related activities in both English and the parents' native language.
As Hispanic/Latinx and Asian American populations grow in the US, this book answers an urgent call for school systems and child and family professionals to be aware of issues in this area and how to address them in culturally responsive ways.
