The Roles of Parents in Community Korean-English Bilingual Family Literacy
Wee, Jongsun
Reading Teacher, v74 n3 p330-334 Nov-Dec 2020
This study introduces parents' roles in the community Korean-English bilingual family literacy program named Family Storytime. It was offered at the Korean church for 30 minutes during lunch time on Sundays over 3 months. The Korean parents played two major roles: facilitators and participants. As facilitators, the parents advertised the literacy program to other Korean families, set up the room, managed children's behaviors, and assisted bookplay activities. The Korean parents were active participants who responded to the book, interacted with children, and gave positive feedback to children. The parents' heritage-language skills and funds of knowledge were valuable resources at the Family Storytime sessions. This study offers an example for how bilingual parents can be involved in family literacy in schools and communities.
