This article examines the social and cultural value of literacy within home communities. It then considers ways of linking classroom instruction to ways of "doing literacy" in the home/community first by viewing the classroom and school as communities and second by designing classroom instructional practices that reach out to the broader community. Such practices can not only provide a way to link the organization of instruction to the social world of the child but a way to promote respect among children, and between home and school community members.Downloads
