The purpose of this study was to identify ways of engaging parents in their children's literacy learning both at home and at school. The parents of my second-grade students were the participants in this study. I studied factors that hindered the involvement of urban parents in school participation and implemented a program that best met their individual needs. Four main literacy initiatives were implemented. These included two home-based activities, Parent Homework and Dialogue Journals, and two school-based activities, Book Lunches and Parent Afternoons. Data were collected over a seven-month period in my urban Ohio second-grade classroom and included pre-and post-interviews of parents who agreed to be interviewed for the study. Results showed that most parents were genuinely interested in participating in their children's education, but it was more difficult for some families to participate due to a variety of factors. These factors included being a single parent, having limited socioeconomic resources, and experiencing serious life events. Single-parent families participated more within the home and two-parent families participated more frequently at the school. Results suggested that African-American parents were just as concerned about their children's education as non-African-American parents. Results also showed that low levels of parental involvement were not necessarily indicative of parent's apathy towards their children's education. Teachers need to become aware of the specific factors that some urban parents face, especially family-type (single versus two-parent), socioeconomic levels, parent perceptions (how they view the school and teachers, their personal experiences in school, etc.), and home environment, in order to engage parents in their children's literacy learning. Teachers need to provide basic and fun ideas for parents to become involved in reading and writing activities with their child. When parents assist the school in working with their children, the children will benefit in a variety of ways.

Parental involvement in the teaching of reading and writing has often lagged behind practice, though schools in many countries now recognise the importance of parental involvement. The ideas presented in this book offer new ways of thinking about parental involvement and should interest both researchers and practitioners. It relates the recent growth of involvement to broader considerations of the nature of literacy and historical exclusion of parents from the curriculum.; Descriptions are given of key findings from research into pre-school literacy work with parents and parents hearing children read, and a framework to underpin practice is offered. The author gives a critique of evaluation methods in the field and suggests how parental involvement should be evaluated together with a view of research findings to date and issues needing further study. The book concludes with an appraisal of what was learned from research and what needs further enquiry.

`Very accessible - not too technical or jargon-ridden. The practical suggestions were useful too - if professionals feel inspired to promote change in their practice and policy it is helpful to have suggestions on where to start and what to do′ - Management in Education Few primary teachers have a chance to find out in detail what children have already learnt, and continue to learn, about literacy at home with their parents. This book gives a clear demonstration of literacy learning that takes place at home, and how it differs from, as well as relates to, literacy at school. It will help teachers to increase their understanding of this process and to build on their relationship with parents. Such understanding, the book shows, can directly enhance children′s literacy performance in school.

Although family engagement has long been associated with positive outcomes, it is not easy to establish, particularly in urban classrooms. Teachers whose ethnic and social-economic statuses differ from that of the typical urban family may be unaware of how to build and sustain those relationships. When teachers do attempt to involve families, it is frequently in a unidirectional approach that often is not effective in urban communities nor meaningful to urban families. Using action research this study addresses the question how does the co-construction of literacy bags during kindergarten (1) facilitate family/school engagement among urban, culturally diverse parents and (2) support their children's emergent literacy? Epstein's theoretical framework of over lapping spheres and methods of family involvement guides our understanding of this phenomenon. This research began by building relationships with seven urban, kindergarten student families through a series of four family/school workshops. Workshops created an environment where families and teachers co-created literacy bags. Literacy bags were the vehicle whereby bidirectional communication supported and strengthened home-school connections. Literacy based activities within individual literacy bags were based on home practices and shared expertise (parent to parent, parent to teacher). Data gathered from workshops and meetings revealed four emerging themes: making it work, distributed expertise, connecting home and school, and more than just literacy. This study provides meaningful information into how families and teachers can work together, in a bidirectional and collaborative approach, to enrich the children's literacy development of urban, low socio-economic status kindergarten students.--Page 9.
