The book "The Role of Family Literacy Programmes to Enhance Emergent Literacy" by Babette le Roux offers a comprehensive examination of the importance of family literacy programs in promoting early reading and writing skills in children. Considering the unique socioeconomic challenges in South Africa, the study highlights how close collaboration between parents and schools can positively influence children's literacy development. By analyzing a specific program designed to support learners, it demonstrates that even limited but well-designed programs can bring significant benefits to all stakeholders, including educators, parents, and the community. The study's findings lead to recommendations that not only assist schools and their communities in designing and implementing family literacy programs but also help policymakers create a strong political framework that promotes a collaborative approach.
