Constructing a community-based parent-child reading ecosystem for sustainable family education

Parent-child reading, as a key form and pathway of family education, plays an irreplaceable role in the entire family education structure. With the transformation of social structures and updates of educational philosophy, family education is undergoing a significant social turn from individual families to social network extension, whose educational functions have broken the traditional family boundaries and been demonstrating a more extensive radiation effect. Under these circumstances, communities, with their public nature and resource synergy capabilities, have gradually evolved into an important vehicle to provide social support for family education. Based on the Heyun Community case study, this paper analyzes the construction of a community-based parent-child reading ecosystem designed to support family education. Through building a family reading circle, constructing a community supporting network and synergizing social resources, Heyun Community successfully established this ecosystem in a gradual implementation process. The results of the study have shed light on the role of communities in family education.
