Family Literacy, Language, and Learning in Asian and Latine Sociocultural Contexts

This volume examines the literacy beliefs and practices of diverse Asian and Latine heritage families, who represent the largest populations of dual language learners in U.S. schools. It explores how cultural traditions, values, and lived experiences shape children’s literacy learning and development, including how families use their semiotic and linguistic repertoires during family routines and interactions. The book highlights the interplay of cultural heritage, language, and educational practices, advancing understanding of culture, language, and literacy development while offering practical insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers fostering inclusive and culturally responsive literacy practices.
