"This scholarly work offers critical review of what family literacy
looks like and the many programs designed to promote it. A panoptic
work spanning the history of family literacy in a manner which is
accessible and erudite, it traces family literacy from early
studies in the 1980s to present day, opening up new avenues to
explore."-- Cathy Nutbrown, University of Sheffield, UK"This book
is important, relevant, and purposeful. It represents an engaging
plethora of groundbreaking work about and with all families across
various spheres of influence. The authors force us to question how
the changing ways and roles of family literacy, its programs, and
practices have not only changed the dynamics of how we "do," "talk
about," and "study" family literacy, but also how family literacy
can equip families to flourish in research, practice, and policy
across schools, communities, programs, even during a
pandemic."--Tisha Lewis Ellison, University of Georgia, 2022

Divergent Award for Excellence in Literacy in a Digital Age
Research"In this book, Lynch and Prins braid together historical
and contemporary research, theory, and practice in early childhood,
adult education, and intergenerational literacy. The authors shine
a light on elements of successful family literacy initiatives such
as digital and critical literacies, an expanded understanding of
family structures, and a much-needed equity lens. This is an
important read for those seeking to build bridges between families
and schools to strengthen literacy achievement."--Rebecca Rogers,
E. Des Lee Endowed Professor of Tutorial Education and Curators’
Distinguished Research Professor, University of Missouri-St. Louis,
USA"Jacqueline Lynch and Esther Prins have combined a rigorous
review of the substantial literature on family literacy with a
passionate analysis of the ways in which curriculum materials,
programming and accountability systems too often reinforce inequity
and marginalisation on the basis of class, poverty, race, language
and ethnicity….Overall, the authors have created an invaluable
developmental resource for practitioners and researchers in the
field of family literacy, whilst at the same time providing a
powerful and persuasive case for inclusive family education, alive
to diversity and difference, and to making an education fit for a
world worth living in."--Alan Tuckett, International Journal of
Lifelong Education, March 2022"The authors present a wide range of
data driven research for educators, instructors, and program
developers of family literacy programs to incorporate when creating
and teaching these programs. At the conclusion of each chapter, in
addition to providing supplemental resources for the authors
include three activities for personal reflection and application,
challenging readers’ thoughts on theoretical perspectives and
encouraging readers at times to extend their own skills and
opinions to design blueprints, strategies, and programs on topics
of family literacy explored in each chapter."
