Investigating the nature of family involvement in ruManyo-speaking children's home literacy learning

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This study aimed to investigate the nature of family involvement in ruManyo-speaking children’s home literacy learning. The study was conducted in rural and urban settings in the Kavango Educational Region of Namibia. The particular focus of this small-scale study is the kind of activities children in their homes, and how parents and other family members engage with them. Attention was also given to how family members involve themselves in children's literacy learning, both in Namibia and in many other countries. The data for this report was collected using a case study, which included both observations and semi-structured interviews with teachers, learners, and parents.
