Popis: In this chapter, we provide a synthesis of what we learned from the three community CPAR case studies and the stakeholder interviews. This synthesis pulls together recurring themes common across these data sets as well as points of difference, in terms of the first three of our four research questions: (1) What are the literacy development contexts for preschool children in communities in Fiji that do not have access to preschools? (2) What are the enablers and constraints that impact on community capacity to support their preschool children’s literacy learning? and (3) What local resources and strategies can be used to foster preschool children’s literacy in their home languages and English, in communities in Fiji that do not have access to preschools? We close the chapter with our conclusions for these questions. These conclusions lead us into the final chapter where we provide a synthesis of findings for our fourth and final research question that focuses on strategies for developing community capacity.
