This book was released on 2011 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early childhood is a critical period for literacy development. Early literacy influences reading achievement later in childhood. An increased understanding of parents' cultural models and practices about their children's literacy development can assist educators by enhancing home-school connections. Additionally, with a better understanding of what home practices Mexican immigrant and Mexican American parents use, educators can avoid viewing parents' home literacy practices from a deficit perspective and instead build upon these practices and strengthen the home-school connection. Parent literacy surveys were distributed to several Sacramento area Head Start locations. Nineteen surveys were returned by Mexican-American and Mexican Immigrant families. Although results of comparisons in the present study were not significant, the results of this study and previous research indicate that Latino families engage in culturally relevant literacy practices with their children.
Book Synopsis Establishing a Dialogic Reading Curriculum for Mexican Immigrant Parents of Preschoolers by : Sheri Ann Bielma
Download or read book Establishing a Dialogic Reading Curriculum for Mexican Immigrant Parents of Preschoolers written by Sheri Ann Bielma and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project was to explore effective ways of reaching Mexican immigrant parents in developing emergent literacy skills in their preschool age children at home. The project addressed the key problem that little curriculum exists that is specifically designed to support Mexican immigrant parents in home literacy practices. The resulting curriculum for educators provided three workshops and two coaching sessions for Mexican immigrant parents. The first workshop provided parents with an understanding of the need for literacy interactions at home during the preschool years in light of kindergarten Common Core Standards and current literacy research. The subsequent workshops taught the process of dialogic reading and were supported with follow up coaching sessions. The project is significant because it provided a resource specifically for Mexican immigrant parents that involves them in their children's literacy education. Few resources existed in the community that empowered parents in this manner. The project contributes to current outreach to families regarding early literacy education. It also contributes to helping families of English Language Learners.
Book Synopsis Family Literacy Practices in Asian and Latinx Families by : Jorge E. Gonzalez
Download or read book Family Literacy Practices in Asian and Latinx Families written by Jorge E. Gonzalez and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-12-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the literacy beliefs and practices of parents and children from Asian and Latinx heritage backgrounds. In the US, children from Asian and Latinx immigrant backgrounds represent the largest population of dual language learners in schools. While existing research has paid significant attention to the roles of parenting and the home literacy environment on children's literacy development, relatively little attention has been allocated to immigrant families. Chapters aim to meet the need in the field to understand the roles of culture and immigrant experiences on children's literacy learning and development, including immigrant families' home environments and parents' involvement in literacy-related activities in both English and the parents' native language. As Hispanic/Latinx and Asian American populations grow in the US, this book answers an urgent call for school systems and child and family professionals to be aware of issues in this area and how to address them in culturally responsive ways.

Download or read book Reaching Out written by Harriett Romo and published by ERIC Clearinghouse on Rural Education & Small Schools. This book was released on 1999 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School systems in the United States are not serving Latino students well, especially those from low-income families. This book examines difficulties encountered by Mexican-origin students--one of the fastest growing minority groups--and describes why some schools fall short and how others have improved student outcomes. The focus throughout the book is on positive changes that school staff, families, community, and students can make. Each chapter uses a different lens--culture, language, gender, family and community, and social and political context--to examine issues and challenges affecting first- and second-generation Mexican American children. Chapters are: (1) The Mexican American Student Population: Growth and Diversity (demography, immigration, academic achievement, innovative programs); (2) Cultural Perspectives on Learning (cultural influences on classroom organization and achievement, child rearing, parent education programs); (3) Language, Literacy, and Creating Bridges to Success (the bilingual education controversy, learning English, maintaining Spanish, special needs of migrant students); (4) Gender Issues in Mexican American Schooling (sex role attitudes, teen pregnancy, school factors, peers); (5) Creating Family-School Partnerships (family poverty, parent-school relationship, parent involvement, community outreach, successful programs); and (6) Political, Social, and Pedagogical Issues Impacting Early Childhood Education and Public Schools (immigration and education policy, politics of early childhood education, teacher training, intergroup relations). Chapter 7 describes organizations and programs that provide resources and services. Contains over 300 references, chapter notes, and an index. (SV)
Book Synopsis Mexican Immigrants Families' Traditional and Non-traditional Language and Literacy Practices at Home that Prepare Children for School in the United States by : Jerome Chavez Zamora
Download or read book Mexican Immigrants Families' Traditional and Non-traditional Language and Literacy Practices at Home that Prepare Children for School in the United States written by Jerome Chavez Zamora and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study investigates the at-home educational efforts of six immigrant families as they prepare their children for school in the United States. The participants' at-home educational activities were provided by the Mexican immigrant families using photographs of activities that they judged as skills which developed the child's ability to engage with other children, teachers, and the curriculum on their first day at school. Photovoice methodology was used in order to provide the Mexican immigrants' voice. The families were recruited from a large urban city in the Southwest with a large immigrant population. They were recruited from medical centers, social support centers, churches with immigrant communities, and schools that had Mexican immigrant children in attendance. The schools and churches provided the greatest source of participants. The educational level of the parents varied from over fifteen years to three years of schooling in Mexico. The children in the study were citizens of the United States, were from two to four years of age, had not yet attended school in the U.S., but had siblings attending public schools in the United States. The families opened their life to the researcher and provided an insight through their photographs that could not have been gained if only interviews and/or questionnaires were used. The twenty five photographs selected to identify the six educational themes that were highlighted throughout the study are demonstrative of what the families in the study were doing to prepare their children for their first day of school. Mexican immigrant parents have high expectations for their children and are willing to sacrifice for the childrens' education.
Book Synopsis Understanding the Language Development and Early Education of Hispanic Children by : Eugene E. Garcia
Download or read book Understanding the Language Development and Early Education of Hispanic Children written by Eugene E. Garcia and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young Hispanic children are the largest and fastest growing ethnic minority population in the United States, representing diverse racial, linguistic, and cultural backgrounds. Educational skills and achievement lag significantly for this population, creating an unacceptable achievement gap at the beginning of Kindergarten that grows even further by the end of 3rd grade. What can we learn from the empirical literature, theory, programs, and policies associated with language and early learning for young Hispanics? What are the home and school factors important to differences in early cognitive development and educational well-being? In this timely collaboration, a renowned researcher and a seasoned practitioner explore these questions with a focus on specific instructional interventions that are associated with reducing the achievement gap for young Hispanic children. Chapters emphasize educational practices, including teacher competencies, instructional strategies, curricular content, parent involvement, and related policy. The text includes teacher-friendly artifacts, instructional organizers, and lesson descriptions. “The authors provide the combination of theoretical orientation, background knowledge, and practical experience that is needed to do justice to this topic.” —Nancy Commins, University of Colorado Denver “Fills a void in current research and will spark vital policy discussions.” —Patricia Gándara, Co-Director of The Civil Rights Project, UCLA

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2019 Outstanding Book in Community Writing Award presented by the Coalition for Community Writing Brokering Tareas examines a grassroots literacy mentoring program that connected immigrant parents with English language mentors who helped emerging bilingual children with homework and encouraged positive academic attitudes. Steven Alvarez gives an ethnographic account of literacies practices, language brokering, advocacy, community-building, and mentorship among Mexican-origin families at a neighborhood afterschool program in New York City. Alvarez argues that engaging literacy mentorship across languages can increase parental involvement and community engagement among immigrant families, and offers teachers and researchers possibilities for rethinking their own practices with the communities of their bilingual students.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Early Childhood Literacy by : Nigel Hall
Download or read book Handbook of Early Childhood Literacy written by Nigel Hall and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2003-10-18 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume examines early literacy research on a global scale and puts social, cultural, and historical analyses in the front seat--without losing sight of individual and family-level matters in the process. It is comprehensive, ground-breaking, and provocative, and should help literacy researchers to think differently about the field." --Marjorie Faulstich Orellana, School of Education and Social Policy, Northwestern University "No other publication that I am aware of brings together views from such diverse disciplines, contributing to a comprehensive statement about early childhood literacy. The Handbook not only reviews the current field of situated literacy but presents some important and exciting new research. It is a significant resource that promises to become a landmark text." --Eve Bearne, University of Cambridge, Faculty of Education, U.K. "This handbook brings together an astonishing array of writers who explore contemporary political, cultural, and cognitive understandings of early childhood literacy. Literacy and literacy acquisition are broadly defined here to encompass not just traditional notions of reading and writing, but multimodalities, multiliteracies, and critical literacies. . . It is rich and comprehensive, an invaluable resource for scholars, educators, and students of early childhood literacy." --Elsa Auerbach, Professor of English, University of Massachusetts, Boston "This book is unique in its broad consideration of topics and its global focus . . . I particularly appreciate how the editors have situated current research in an historical context. They have also included development issues, pedagogy, research, and the newest areas of interest--critical literacy and popular culture." --Diane Barone, University of Nevada, Reno In recent years there has been a virtual revolution in early childhood studies, with a mass of books and papers seeking to re-examine and reposition childhood. At the same time an equally significant area has developed within literacy studies, reflecting a growing interest in the nature of literacy as a socially situated phenomenon. There is increased interest in literacy as a multimodal concept in which symbolic meaning is a central concept, rather than more conventional and narrower notions of literacy. The Handbook of Early Childhood Literacy is central in providing access to all these different perspectives. The Handbook offers a way through the vast diversity of publications on early childhood literacy by providing comprehensive and up-to-date reviews of research and thinking in early childhood literacy. The arrangement of chapters reflects a contemporary perspective on research into early childhood literacy. Major sections include: the global world of early childhood literacy; childhood literacy and family, community and culture; the development of literacy in early childhood; pedagogy and early childhood literacy and researching early childhood literacy. Contributions by leading authorities focus on literacy as a socially situated and global experience, one that is evolving in relation to changes in contemporary culture and technological innovation.
Download or read book Mi Padre written by Sarah Gallo and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mi Padre centers on the promise of parent involvement practices that build upon the range of linguistic and sociocultural resources that Latin@ immigrant students and their families bring to school. Through the experiences of Mexican immigrant fathers and their children, this book illustrates the need for humanizing family engagement. Gallo identifies the many ways these fathers contribute to their children’s education and how educators can communicate more effectively with immigrant families. Mi Padre also shows the consequences of deportation-based immigration policies on elementary school education and offers strategies for supporting students and their families in the classroom. The author stresses the importance of learning from and with families and offers practical suggestions for how to build relationships with all caregivers as a counterpractice to the one-size-fits-all schooling that many teachers, students, and families experience today. Book Features: Provides practical approaches for drawing on Latin@ families’ educational resources for school-based learning. Depicts the consequences of immigration policies on children, families, and elementary school teachers. Draws on ethnographic data collected during a period of strong anti-immigrant sentiment in a Pennsylvania town.
Book Synopsis Parent Education and Involvement Program as a Support for Hispanic Immigrant Preschool Parents by : Luilia E. Palermo
Download or read book Parent Education and Involvement Program as a Support for Hispanic Immigrant Preschool Parents written by Luilia E. Palermo and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate Hispanic immigrant preschool parents' educational beliefs and practices while participating in a parent education and involvement program (PEIP) in a United States school. Parent involvement practices have been a hallmark of Head Start programs since the early 1970s. More recently, PEIP has spread to other early childhood programs such as Preschool for All in the State of Illinois as a program requirement. However, not much knowledge exists regarding Hispanic immigrant preschool parents' educational beliefs and practices while participating in a parent education and involvement program. The study findings indicate that Hispanic immigrant preschool parents' home educational practices may differ from what U.S. schools may expect, but the families welcome the educational supports provided to them during the school involvement programs. The study was qualitative in nature, as the majority of the data was collected in a natural setting through observations. The parents and children were observed during PEIP activities and during home activities; teachers were also observed during PEIP. In addition, interviews were completed with parents and teachers. Results show that the Hispanic immigrant preschool parents enjoyed participating in the PEIP program, and showed high levels of engagement during parent-child school activities. Parents stated that before the program they did not read to their children, but that throughout the program they learned why it is important to read to children at an early age. Additionally, I learned that the preschool teachers participating in this PEIP program valued parent involvement and had positive perceptions about the parents' home-school connections.
