"O.K., Let's Figure it Out All Together": Parents' Narratives about Their Children's Literacy Learning in the Home and School

The participants in this qualitative study were parents of children in grades 1--3 who attended an elementary school in a low-income, predominantly Latino urban neighborhood. The children were identified as struggling readers through teacher nomination and standardized assessments, and they received reading and writing intervention through an in-school pullout program and through a once-a-week, after-school University-sponsored tutoring program. The purpose of this study was to gather the views of parents about their children's experiences in literacy learning and intervention, parents' perspective of their role in their child's literacy learning, as well as the ways parents described their child as a literacy learner.
