Abstract
As Thelma Hall argues later in this section, children can benefit greatly from their parents¡¯ involvement in their learning to read. Adrian Blackledge¡¯s study of Bangladeshi families found that mothers were very keen to support their children¡¯s reading at home, but were frustrated by the gap between home and school literacy and by schools¡¯ lack of understanding of home literacy practices. Blackledge concludes the chapter with six recommendations to help bridge this cultural divide.
