In edthis paper, the influence of learning theories, the research on children’s early literacy development, and the sociopolitical context with gave rise to the intervention movement, will be reviewed with respect to their impact on current models of family literacy programs. The research on program evaluation is also considered, and is related to current practice and future directions in family literacy programming.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers of Education in China is dedicated to illuminating the results of the newest educational research in China and providing an academic platform for international exchanges. We have carefully selected papers that have previously been published in Chinese universities and scholarly journals as well as academic essays that will be published for the first time. After an exhaustive peer review process, we hope to present these articles to a global audience. Through these papers, international scholars can have the opportunity to understand the current conditions of education in China as well as the research of Chinese academics. Our journal touches upon numerous branches of educational research and theory, as well as educational reform and practical pedagogy.
