"En Los Dos Idiomas: Literacy Practices Among Chicago Mexicans"

From reading En Los Dos Idiomas: Literacy Practices Among Chicago Mexicans by author Marcia Farr, I was very interested in the data and study she has made with Spanish families. Farr's study introduced many domains and perspectives of how literacy: reading, writing, and speaking English has impacted certain individuals and family members. With going about her study to how literacy comes to exist for these individuals, she has collected reasonable information through interviews and has worked sided by sided with Spanish children and adults. In her article, I thought it was helpful of her to categorized specific topics as to what she has made an understanding to. In her study she separates many families as to where they come from: Chicago and Mexico and how these individuals have learned to read, write, and speak.
