💡 Ling Hao’s article “Uplifting the Voices of Asian American Parents Through an Online Family Book Club: Elicited and Silenced Cultural Knowledge” is now live
at journals.sagepub.com/home/lrx
Text on a light background of books arranged diagonally Uplifting the Voices of Asian American Parents Through an Online Family Book Club: Elicited and Silenced Cultural Knowledge Ling Hao This ethnographic case study explores how parents' participation in reading experiences influenced children's responses to culturally relevant texts. In an online family book club, parents and children sat together, read culturally relevant picture books, and discussed the books after reading. The book clubs helped children recognize parents as cultural resources and reading partners, which helped children make personal and cultural connections Literacy Research: Theory, Method & Practice Bluesky @LRTMP Facebook LRTMP Instagram @LR_TMP Created in partnership with the Education Now Lab.
