Main idea:
Interactional, instrumental, news-related, environmental,
financial, spiritual, recreational, and educational are the eight distinct uses
of literacy identified by the Jones family.
Response:
I found the eight uses of literacy interesting. I had never
really considered breaking up literacy uses into categories. I just always
viewed it as reading, no matter for what use. When I really stopped to think
about it, I think that the eight uses the Jones family stated are probably the
eight ways my family uses literacy as well. Can you think of any other
categories that need to be added?
I think taking a family history approach to literacy for the
purpose of finding out more information when a child is struggling to read
could be a positive or negative approach. I think it just depends on the child.
Which goes back to last week’s reading where you just have to know your
students in order to determine what can help them to succeed. If you were going
to do a family history approach to the literacy, how would you go about
determining what questions to ask?
I know that my parents were influential in helping me to not only learn to read but to love reading. That being said here is a link for seven ways to encourage your child to love reading!

I really enjoyed reading the 7 ways to encourage your child to love reading! I think number 4 (let your kids see you reading) is a must! As we've read in our readings so far, children love being able to do what they see adults doing. Whether it's reading a newspaper, a magazine, a textbook, or the mail, it is extremely important for children to see their elders reading. We cannot expect children to have a love for reading if they never see us partaking in it.
