The authors detail how 2,000 teachers facilitating summer camps for 8,000 students across a state for three years engaged families in authentic literacy practices. Building relationships, considering families’ needs and strengths, and providing authentic learning experiences linked with literacy led to positive changes in family engagement and literacy motivation.
