It has been well established that schools and families must work
together to ensure academic and literacy success for all children.
Educators understand the importance of creating a learning
connection between families and schools. Families provide teachers
with increased knowledge of students. Teachers also recognize the
importance of building on the learning events occurring in
students' homes and communities. However, in practice, partnerships
are not easily established. Often teachers are not prepared to
effectively reach out to families nor are families and schools
prepared to effectively work together. There are many constraints
in forming home-school partnerships and the added challenges of
creating partnerships with families of children struggling with
literacy development are even more difficult. Often teachers and
families find themselves on opposite sides, facing similar
challenges, looking for a way to connect. Families of children
struggling to acquire literacy skills are often faced with many
challenges other families never experience. For teachers, trying to
reach out to these families and form partnerships is equally
challenging. Bridges enable connections to be made between people
and ideas and allow passage from one side to another. This book
describes five principles to guide teachers in working with
families of struggling readers. With examples from the field, tools
to put into practice, and extensive resources lists, teachers will
expand their understanding of family engagement. This book is an
important resource for pre-service and in-service teachers who are
eager to engage more sensitively and effectively with families,
particularly those whose children have struggled with literacy.
