Description
Summary:	The Technology, Literacy, and Caring project was a longitudinal, intervention evaluation study assessing the degree to which two home-based interventions promoted positive parent--child book-sharing interactions, child development, and infant-toddler emergent literacy skills for low socioeconomic status, Latino families. Data collection for the Technology, Literacy, and Caring project was complex--a 4-year endeavor that involved 188 participant families, 13 interview and questionnaire measures, two observation coding schemes, hundreds of individual variables, a team of 18 researchers, and thousands of hours of effort. This case study offers a reflective and critical analysis of decisions and experiences related to the project's research design and methodology.
