Book

Special relationships : how families learn together / Maureen Banbury.

Summary:

Primarily for managers, advisers and co-ordinators of family learning programs, but also of interest to family learning practitioners, who may find it practical for curriculum design. This small book explores the nature of family learning - how and why intergenerational joint learning takes place - and looks at how it may be unique with an analysis of its features and descriptions of fieldwork examining the new model. Discusses important questions surrounding family learning and encouraging good practice.

"It is a good resource, but for my purpose I needed more pictorial books because parents didn't want to read the whole book. I think if there were some highlights of important things, it would be more attractive to them." – April 2012 Exemplary Literacy Materials Online Reviews.
