Abstract

In this new media age the potential for mismatch between children's literacy practices at home and at school is considerable. Based on the data of research developed in partnership with schools, this book explores how teachers, positioned as researchers, developed an understanding of the cultural, linguistic and social assets that children bring with them from home. It examines how the practitioners widened their conceptions of literacy, built new relationships with parents and children and sought to develop two-way communication between homes and schools.
