Languages and Literacies in Early Childhood: At Home and in Early Childhood Settings.
Beecher, Bronwyn; Makin, Laurie
European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, v10 n1 p67-84 2002
Researchers observed and rated environments of 80 early childhood settings in Australia, interviewed staff, and conducted focus group discussions with family members regarding early childhood literacy. Case study findings indicated that in settings with strong levels of congruence between family and staff perspectives on early literacies, both stakeholders shared understandings of cultural and family practices, in comparison to those settings where shared understandings about diverse literacies were not present.
