We propose that family literacy programs <em>can</em> build on the strengths that families bring and provide an intersubjective space where families and schools can share knowledge in a reciprocal, respectful manner.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Language and Literacy}, author={Anderson, Ann and Anderson, Jim and Gear, Alison}, year={2015}, month={Jun.}, pages={41–58} }
