Abstract | As part of a larger project on the transition to kindergarten, eight families volunteered for a photography-based study. The purpose of this study was to gain further insight into how low-income families prepare children for kindergarten. Following a photo elicitation approach, eight families used a digital camera for 1 week to document activities they did with their children to prepare them for school. Families then participated in a follow-up interview to discuss the meaning behind the images. Interview data were thematically analyzed, and findings suggested that school readiness for families involved both traditional school-like activities and nontraditional everyday activities. A variety of nontraditional images often not associated with preparing children for school were captured by participants, suggesting that many home-based activities may go unrecognized by the early childhood community. Implications for early childhood professionals are discussed, specifically related to building on family strengths. (As Provided). |
