Summary, etc.: "Family Literacy documents Taylor's three-year study of six families, each of which included a child who was considered by his or her parents to be successfully learning to read and write. Taylor offers an engaging story of the often complex interaction within each family and how that interaction contributed to the children's literacy development." "Taylor reflects on research into literacy learning since the publication of the original edition, reasserting her belief that disciplined, systematic observation is the foundation of our most powerful interpretations of how young children learn to read and write."--BOOK JACKET.
