Auerbach, E. R. (1989). Toward a sociocontextual approach to family
literacy. Harvard Educational Review, 59, 165–181.
Based on her study of family literacy, which included the examination of current
models of family literacy programs, ethnographic literature, and interactions
with immigrant and refugee students, Auerbach proposes a broadening of the
definition for family literacy, and a reevaluation of the family literacy model.
Instead of a family literacy model that attempts to transmit school practices to
the home, Auerbach supports a sociocontextual approach that incorporates family,
culture, and community. The author discusses this new model of family literacy
and provides examples and suggestions for its implementation.

Brizius, J. & Foster, S. (1993). Generation to generation:
Realizing the promise of family literacy.
This book provides a good overview of the family literacy movement. It explains
the need for family literacy programs, provides a comprehensive definition of
family literacy, and traces the history of such programs. Guidelines and
suggestions on how to anticipate and deal with the issues of family literacy are
offered to policymakers and practitioners. Finally, key issues about the future

Brooks-Gunn, J.,
The authors note
that discussion pertaining to parent and family roles in early childhood
initiatives appear to be missing or distorted. To address this omission, the
authors depict ways in which families are critical to early childhood program
access and how the programs influence parents' well being. This chapter also
highlights how child outcomes are mediated through program effects on parents.
It also shows how parent involvement is contingent on the relationships among
parents, staff, and children. The authors review four types of programs:
parent-focused home-based programs, parent-focused combination center- and
home-based programs, intergenerational family literacy programs, and
parent-focused literacy programs. These programs are discussed in relation to
parent and family outcomes. The authors also examine the role of parents as
catalysts of change in early intervention programs. The final two sections focus
on policy, implications for practice, and recommendations for programs and their
evaluations.

Gadsden, V. L. (1994). Understanding family literacy: Conceptual
issues. Teachers College Record, 96, 58–86.
This article
examines the current research in the field of family literacy. The first of the
articles's four sections identifies major sources of influence on current
literacy research, such as cross-cultural and social issues, intergenerational
literacy, and parent-child literacy, as well as the influence of practice. The
second section, about the nature of families and family support, describes five
assumptions as the foundation of a conceptual framework.
33.
This chapter
focuses on the conceptual and theoretical issues of intergenerational literacy
in families. The first section discusses the issues associated with a more
expansive and critical framework to study intergenerational literacy. For
example,

Kerka, S. (1991). Family and intergenerational literacy (ERIC
Digest No. 111). Columbus, OH: ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, and
Vocational Education. (ERIC Document Reproduction Service No. 334 467).
This article provides a brief overview of family literacy through a discussion
of current program designs, definitions of literacy, the need for research on
program effectiveness, perspectives of and issues related to literacy, and
suggestions for program development. Kerka highlights and gives examples of four
types of family/intergenerational literacy programs. Drawing on research from
related fields, Kerka suggests that literacy should be taught comprehensively,
with the involvement of the whole family, and within a community context. The
author discusses issues in family literacy such as the "deficit"
perspective which emphasizes transmitting literacy skills from the school to the
family versus the perspective of building on the strength of parents' knowledge
and experience. Finally, Kerka makes five recommendations for program
development: these include using a broad definition of literacy and being
sensitive to cultural differences.

Kerka, S. (1992). Family literacy programs and practices: Practice
application brief. Columbus, OH: ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career and
Vocational Education. (ERIC Document Reproduction Service No. 347 328).
This Practice Application Brief serves as an overview of some of the basic
components of family literacy programs. The brief begins by discussing the
philosophy that underlies family and intergenerational literacy programs and
perspectives from which the programs are modeled. The author espouses programs
based on an empowerment model (drawing on family strength) rather than those
based on the "deficit" model. The author classifies effective
family/intergenerational literacy programs into four categories based upon
Nickse's model. The four models (adult direct-children direct, adult
indirect-children indirect, adult direct-children indirect, and adult
indirect-children direct) are discussed with a description and example provided
for each type. Also included in this brief are strategies for effective program
implementation. Topics discussed with regard to implementing and maintaining an
effective program are audience, recruitment and retention, subject matter, and
recognition.

Morrow, L. M. (Ed.). (1995). Family literacy: Connections in schools
and communities. New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University.
This book presents
20 essays relevant to the field of family literacy. The first section is an
examination of the many definitions and perspectives of family literacy. The
second section describes family literacy programs run by schools and other
organizations. Several of the essays in this section provide ideas for schools,
community agencies, and families. In the final section, the reader is introduced
to several examples of family literacy research. Implications for practitioners
are provided. The authors include Lesley Mandel Morrow, Patricia Edwards, Elsa
Roberts Auerbach, Jeanne R. Paratore, and Vivian L. Gadsden.

Morrow, L. M., & Paratore, J. (1993). Family literacy: Perspective
and practices. Reading Teacher, 47, 194–200.
In this article,
the authors discuss current views, practices, and applications in family
literacy. Because literacy activities at school and at home are sometimes seen
as incongruent with one another, the authors suggest that the term family
literacy be viewed in the broadest sense. The authors categorize family literacy
initiatives into three areas (home-school partnership programs,
intergenerational literacy programs, and research examining literacy use in
families) and provide a description of each. Community collaboration and
partnerships are noted as integral to the future of family literacy. Examples of
collaboration in federal and state level family literacy programs are described.
The need for evaluation of family literacy initiatives is stressed and methods
of disseminating information regarding family literacy are presented.

programs: An update of "the noises of literacy." Columbus, OH:
ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career and Vocational Education, The Ohio State
University Center on Education and Training for Employment. (ERIC Document
Reproduction Services No. ED 327 736).
This report serves as a comprehensive overview of family and intergenerational
literacy programs for a wide audience, including policymakers, legislators,
program administrators and staff, and individuals interested in family literacy
education. The first section of this report provides background information such
as definitions, purposes, federal legislation, and sponsorships that have
produced literacy initiatives, program expectations, and reasons and motivations
for validating program development. The second section of the report discusses
research from related fields of study that justify family and intergenerational
literacy program growth. In the third section, the author describes family and
intergenerational literacy programs in the following five sectors: (1) adult
basic education; (2) libraries; (3) family English literacy; (4) preschool and
elementary education; and (5) corporations and businesses. A table is included
in the report that depicts strengths and challenges for each sector. A typology
for classifying family and intergenerational literacy programs based upon the
intervention type and target is presented. The result is four models of programs
(direct adults-direct children, indirect adults-indirect children, direct
adults-indirect children, and indirect adults-direct children) for which the
author provides examples and discusses advantages and disadvantages for each.

Nickse, R. S. (1990). Family literacy programs: Ideas for action. Adult
Learning, 1, 9–13, 28–29.
In this article, Nickse addresses factors that perpetuate illiteracy. She then
discusses benefits of family literacy programs, including improved attitudes,
behavior, and reading skills for parent and child. Although there has been some
empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of programs, there needs to be
more research in the field. For example, she found no evidence of changes in
achievement for participants in family literacy programs. Nickse describes four
basic models for delivering family literacy services and provides examples of
each type of program. Suggestions for designing programs that address local
needs, as well as ways to secure funding for programs are discussed. Nickse also
addresses issues related to program design effectiveness (e.g., collaboration
and parent participation) and administration and management of programs (e.g.,
staff, funding, and sites). The author then covers some matters associated with
teaching (e.g., collaborative approaches and multiculturalism). The article
concludes with tips for program evaluation (e.g., techniques and information
dissemination).

This issue is dedicated to the topic of family literacy. An introduction is
followed by seven articles regarding various aspects of family literacy. The
topics addressed in the articles include the importance of the family in
literacy development; the Parents as Partners Reading Program; school outreach
programs; the varying use of print in families; creating cultural connections
between parents and their children; project FLAME and family literacy programs
for Latino families; and the use of family portfolios to evaluate family
literacy programs.

Paratore, J. & Harrison, C. (1995). A themed issue on family
literacy. Journal of Reading, 38, 516–517.
This themed issue is a collection of articles that present broad and diverse
views of family literacy. The authors challenge educators to reexamine the
deficit hypothesis, which they believe derives from a lack of congruence between
home and school literacy experiences and a lack of understanding about the
practice of literacy in linguistically and culturally diverse families. The
authors' goal is for readers to reformulate their ideas about family literacy
programs and practices in order to promote home/school partnerships.

Ponzetti, J. J., & Bodine, W. J. (1993). Family literacy and parent
education. Adult Basic Education, 3(2), 106–114.
This article presents a conceptual model of family literacy programs with
descriptions of program components and discusses the importance of parent
education in family literacy programs. Ponzetti and Bodine define family
literacy programs as having two unique features that make them different from
other services provided for parents and children. First, family literacy
programs focus on the family as a unit, and second, these programs provide joint
literacy activities to families (adults and children together) that are
applicable to their daily lives. The component model presented proposes that
family literacy programs have three key ingredients: Adult Basic Education,
Early Childhood Education, and Parenting Education. The authors provide a
description of each component. Last, the authors elaborate on the importance of
parenting education in family literacy programs.

Purcell-Gates, V. (1993). Issues for family literacy research: Voices
from the trenches. Language Arts, 70, 670–677.
This article explores issues researchers of family literacy must address to
achieve valid study results. These issues include better understanding the
relationship among poverty, families with low literacy levels, and emergent
literacy; finding effective methods for understanding the ways in which families
contribute to future school success; attempting to gain more congruence between
the results of studies and the perceptions and experiences of the families and
communities being studied; and refraining from inferring causal relationships
from correlations. Purcell-Gates illustrates these issues with an example of an
ongoing family literacy study.

Mosenthal, P. D. Pearson, & R. Barr (Eds.), Handbook of reading research,
Volume III (pp. 853–870). Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum.
This chapter divides into three parts. The first part reviews the research that
provides the foundation on which family literacy is based. These areas include
the family as a foundation for learning, language and literacy development;
emergent literacy; written, vocabulary/language, print, phonological awareness
and letter-sound knowledge; as well as motivation. The second part discusses two
different approaches to family literacy. Descriptive approaches to family
literacy focus on how families use literacy. Pedagogical approaches focus on the
kinds of family literacy programs. Family literacy programs range from teaching
or training families specific literacy practices to beliefs that approaches need
to incorporate mutual respect and collaboration with families. The third part
reviews the effectiveness of family literacy programs on the impact of
children's skills, achievement, and attitudes; the impact on parents' academic
skills, literate behaviors, and confidence/self-esteem; and the impact on
parent/child literacy interactions. The chapter ends with conclusions based on
the family literacy research and with suggestions for future research in family
literacy.

Richardson, M. V., Sacks, K., & Ayers, M. N. (1995).
Intergenerational literacy leads to empowerment of families and schools. Reading
Improvement, 32, 85–91.
In this article, the authors discuss the importance of families and schools
working together to improve the literacy skills of both children and adults.
Definitions of family literacy and intergenerational literacy are examined. The
authors propose broadening these definitions to include
shared experiences among family members in which something new is learned. The
importance of and suggestions for including the family in the planning and
implementation of literacy programs is noted. The authors describe strategies
for promoting literacy in the home and strengthening the family-school
connection. The authors view collaboration between families and schools as a
tool for empowering both and as a way to satisfy the National Goals 2000.

Taylor, D. (Ed.). (1997). Many families, many literacies: An
international declaration of principles. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann.
In an effort to counter what is described as the prevailing deficit-based view
of family literacy, a group of 50 participants from around the world gathered at
the International Forum on Family Literacy to set up principles for redefining
family literacy. The intent was to have a broad spectrum of professionals
address issues related to the family literacy movement, especially issues
related to ethical and human rights concerns. This book, a result of that
conference, identifies a set of principles for family literacy and presents a
compilation of articles on family literacy by researchers, teachers and parent
learners. Challenging the reader to question practices based on a deficit view
of family literacy, the articles cover the many different types of families
served in family literacy programs, the general principles of language and
literacy, ethics in research and program development, and principles for
assessment, funding agencies and policymakers.

Tett, L., & St. Clair, R., (1997). Family literacy in the
educational marketplace: A cultural perspective. International Journal of
Lifelong Education, 16(2), 109–120.
The authors
discuss two recent developments, the spread of family-centered approaches to
literacy education and the view of the family as a consumer of education. They
argue that the view of families as consumers of education has lead to a
school-centered dominance of family literacy programs. They highlight a number
of problems they see as associated with the implementation of family literacy
programs that espouse school-centered approaches to literacy. By contrast, they
advocate programs that are responsive to the family's culture and that support
home-based literacy uses. They also argue against a deficit-based view thought
to be guiding current beliefs in the field of family literacy.

Tracey, D. H. (1995). Family literacy: Overview and synthesis of an
ERIC search. In K. Hinchman, D.J. Leu, & C. Kinzer (Eds.), Perspectives
on literacy: Research and practice, forty-fourth yearbook of the National
Reading Conference (pp. 280–288). Chicago: National Reading Conference.
(ERIC Document Reproduction Service No. ED 379 611).
To pull together and facilitate further knowledge within the field of family
literacy, as well as to better define family literacy, Tracey conducted a
comprehensive review of the literature. Using the descriptor "family
literacy" on two indexes within the ERIC system (Resources in Education (RIE)
and Current Indexes to Journals in Education (CIJE)), 409 references and
abstracts were located and reviewed. For the final reporting of the literature,
135 documents were sorted into 3 main categories—research emphasis (19
percent), program descriptions (35 percent), and position papers (38
percent)—and then analyzed. Several strengths, weaknesses, and needs in the
literature emerged as a result of the review. The primary weaknesses noted were
a lack of clear and agreed-upon definitions in the field; a disproportionately
small percentage of documents created from a research perspective; a too narrow
focus on topics that would fit more appropriately into areas outside of family
literacy; and a lack of research on program efficacy. Primary strengths included
the fact that the attrition rate for participants in family literacy programs is
considerably smaller than in adult literacy programs, and that documented
research consistently supports the finding that participants of family literacy
programs are benefited by increased positive literacy interactions in the home
between parent and child as a correlate of participation.

multilingual families. ERIC Q & A. Washington, DC: Center for Applied
Linguistics, National Clearinghouse on Literacy Education. (ERIC Document
Reproduction Service No. ED 378 848).
In this document, the author addresses five questions related to family and
intergenerational literacy programs and the multilingual families enrolled in
these programs. Weinstein-Shr first addresses the subtle difference between
family and intergenerational literacy programs by explaining that the first term
focuses primarily on the parent and child while the second term more broadly
includes other adults. She identifies the goals of these programs to be
promoting parental involvement; improving of skills, attitudes, values, and
behaviors associated with reading; increasing the social significance of
literacy; and addressing the unique problems of relocated families. The author
suggests that programs build on family strengths, emphasize collaboration, and
acknowledge both the native culture of the participants as well as the new
culture. In addition, she suggests continuing ethnographic research because the
functions and uses of language and literacy in specific communities is becoming
increasingly important.
