This study documents their experiences and stories that occurred in their home life and literacy activities/practices at home and in the community. The methodology of this study is qualitative case study. Data collection took place inside and outside the home over a period of three months during the summer of 2003. Primary collection techniques were ethnographic in nature and included participant observation, interviews, and examination of artifacts. The purpose of the study was to show what types of literacy activities this Korean family practiced at home and in the community and how this Korean family developed their home literacy.
