"In this unique contribution to the literature on parental
involvement in culturally and linguistically diverse communities,
Flora Rodriguez-Brown offers a critique of family literacy programs
that lack a clear design for literacy activities relevant to
community goals, offering an alternative model that is grounded
within an abiding respect for the parents' role as the child's
first, and ultimately, most important teacher." Robert D. Milk,
University of Texas, San Antonio The Project FLAME program used as
context for this book is a comprehensive family literacy model,
supported by a strong sociocultural framework based on current
research on cultural ways of learning and theories of
multiliteracies and discourse. The model highlights the relevance
of parents' knowledge, cultural ways, and discourses in sharing
literacy knowledge with their children. A pressing need exists for
models and programs that effectively serve the educational needs of
the steadily increasing numbers of culturally and linguistically
diverse students in U.S. public schools today. Addressing issues
related to development, implementation, and effectiveness of a
program model that fulfills this need, this book is an essential
resource for educators, community workers, and researchers
interested in the relevance of the home-school connection in
relation to children's school success.
