L102 Goldenberg, C. (1987). Low-income Latino parents' contributions to their first-grade children's word-recognition skills. Anthropology and Education Quarterly, 18, 149-179.
This article investigates the role Hispanic parents played in nine first-grade children's acquisition of word-recognition skills. Two parents, by directly helping children learn the school's reading curriculum, made the greatest contributions to children's achievement. All parents, despite low socioeconomic status, were capable of helping their children and expressed willingness to do so. However, there was no systematic attempt by the school to enlist their aid. The significance of these findings for education of minority children is discussed. |
