Improving primary literacy : linking home and school

Summary: Using case studies of young children from a diverse range of family background, this book demonstrates a variety of ways in which home and school literacy learning can be directly linked through home-school activities and how this can be used to share knowledge between children, parents, and teachers. Tried-and-tested practical activities are included in the book. While primarily targeted to teachers, the ideas could also be useful to family literacy practitioners.
