Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, v7 n3 p72-87 Dec 2007
This paper is based on a qualitative case study on the perceptions of Malaysian Chinese parents towards literacy practices of their two children specifically in relation to the socialization practices they privilege at home. It looks at these literacy practices as choices made by parents for their teenage children at the intersection of home, schooling, community, national as well as global discourses.
