Funded Activity Summary

Parents' networks: the circulation of knowledge about children's literacy learning. Families' differential access to literacy knowledge and resources is a factor in children's unequal literacy outcomes. Networks are a means by which knowledge and resources are accessed. In investigating how parents' networks operate, how organisations' networks access parents, and ideas about children's literacy circulating through these networks, this study will inform policy and practice in community service provision, family literacy and parent education. It will provide new knowledge about the impact of culture, gender, technology and globalisation on parents' access to ideas about children's literacy which will be valuable in developing programs and practices appropriate to different families and communities.
