Abstract
How do we go about re-imagining literacy learning as parents and as teachers? This conversation explores the importance of learning from the past with our eye on the future and how engaging in reflective practice can foster this direction. The conversation also explores the important role of parents in effective change and challenges parents and teachers to recognise and interrogate the view of the world that they are presenting, particularly through the questions they ask and the stories they choose for close study.
