This book contributes to current debates about the importance of
early literacy and the different ways that literacy resources offer
support to parents with young children. It sheds light on the
impact of policy discourse and austerity measures on community
resources designed to support children's early literacy learning.
Based on an ethnographic study carried out in a small town in the
East Midlands, UK, the book shows how government policy is enacted
in four local resources - Sure Start children's centres,
pre-schools, a public library and privately run parent and child
early education classes. It reveals how inequalities and
contradictions exist in different forms of community literacy
provision which can explain some of the educational differences
evident when children start school. With a particular focus on
mothers, the book reveals how parents are supported differently
depending on where they go and how they are viewed by the
professionals they encounter. The book contributes to the current
literature around literacy in early childhood and combines a unique
case study with theoretical concepts to offer a new way of thinking
about early intervention, parental engagement and school readiness.
Local Literacies in Early Childhood will be highly relevant reading
for researchers, academics and post-graduate students in the field
of early childhood education and literacy education. It will also
be of interest to policymakers, early childhood professionals,
literacy advisors and librarians from different local, national and
international contexts wishing to support parents and children more
equitably so that learning opportunities can be maximised and
educational inequalities tackled.
