Abstract

In this chapter about literacy and quality links between home and school we draw on recent sociocultural work by Rogoff (2003) and Larson and Marsh (2005), who view literacy learning occurring through participation in social, cultural and historical contexts that are mediated by interaction. To begin we define what we mean by the term ‘literacy’. There are two over-arching theoretical constructs that recur in literacy theory and research which are important in understanding links between home and school. These constructs are ‘representation’ and ‘practice’.
