Eguogwu, Jr. Everyone thought seven-year-old John would not graduate from high school because his grades were very poor. His teachers used different methods to help him, but nothing worked. One of his teachers then figured out that little John was not getting help with his homework at home and that was why he wasn’t even doing his homework at all. After the teacher got his parents involved with John’s academics, his grades improved considerably. When John’s dad made it a duty to read to John and to teach him at home after school, John started getting A’s and B’s and that academic success continued to his college years. The author knew students in his school that were not doing well academically and, after speaking with them, the author realized that most of them were not being taught by a parent at home. He then advised some of them to tell their dads to be help them with their homework. When their dads got involved, these students started getting A’s and B’s. The author felt the push to educate kids and parents about the huge benefits to kids’ success when their dads help teach them. The book talked about different scenarios parents could use to get their kids to like reading, writing, and school.

Download or read book Local Literacies written by David Barton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local Literacies is a unique detailed study of the role of reading and writing in people’s everyday lives. By concentrating on a selection of people in a particular community in Lancaster, England, the authors analyse how they use literacy in their day-to-day lives. It follows four people in detail examining how they use local media, their participation in public life, the role of literacy in family activities and in leisure pursuits. Links are made between everyday learning and education. The study is based on an ethnographic approach to studying everyday activities and is framed in the theory of literacy as a social practice. This Routledge Linguistics Classic includes a new foreword by Deborah Brandt and a new framing chapter, in which David Barton and Mary Hamilton look at the connections between local and global activities, interfaces with institutional literacies, and the growing significance of digital literacies in everyday life. A seminal text, Local Literacies provides an explicit usable methodology for both teachers and researchers, and clear theorising around a set of six propositions. Clearly written and engaging, this is a deeply absorbing study and is essential reading for all those involved in literacy and literacy education.
