Description:
This book presents a much-needed framework for family and community engagement in the early childhood and elementary literacy classroom that embraces and foregrounds students' unique cultural backgrounds.
Review Quotes:
"Re-envisioning Family Engagement and Literacy in Early Childhood Classrooms "Porque asi ya conocemos" is a necessary reimagination of what it means to truly engage families of minoritized and immigrant students in the early childhood classroom... This is a unique book that adds to the repertoire of texts that foreground the need to reconfigure family and community engagement, and school relationships focusing on assets-based approaches... particularly in the area of multilingual and immigrants' literacy education."
