The presenter will share examples from her work with family literacy programs in elementary schools and libraries in Georgia and Colorado, featuring interactions with Latinx parents and children in (a) reading assessment of nonfiction (science); (b) read-aloud of biographies (social studies); and (c) inquiry and research using books and digital tools (science and social studies). The presentation will begin with description of the research projects, which are informed by critical and participatory approaches to family engagement, translanguaging, and funds-of-knowledge perspectives—a reading list of academic resources will be provided. |
