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

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
