Informed by international research and illustrated throughout with examples and case studies of the experiences of the classroom teachers involved in the research, Researching Childrenâs Literacy Lives offers fresh insight into literacy teaching and learning. It looks towards the future and prompts the profession to think more critically about the everyday literacy lives of todayâs children and the consequences for building communities of learners, for fostering parental partnership and co-authoring the curriculum.

Industry Reviews

'Researching Literacy Lives: Building Communities between Home and School not only provides one model for a deeper understanding of home-school interaction; it also represents a call to action. While not every teacher may be able to take up a year of home visits, the study demonstrates that there is pedagogical power when teachers tap into students' funds of knowledge and honour their lived literacy in an authentic manner.'- Sara K. Sterner, University of Minnesota, IRSCL, 2015 "This book explores how teachers as researchers developed a deeper understanding of the cultural, linguistic and social assets that children bring with them from home, and challenges us to think more critically about children's out-of-school literacy lives. The evidence from examples and case studies will support schools who want to build new home-school communities and culturally responsive curricula and pedagogy." - UKLA Book Award Panel
