Background: South Africa has one of the lowest-performing education systems in the world. By the fourth grade, many learners are already 2 or more years behind their peers, especially in mathematics and literacy. Family literacy programmes as a form of home-school partnership are often proposed as an early intervention to support early literacy learning. Family literacy programmes remain a new concept in South Africa and little formal research has been undertaken on the nature, availability and implications of such programmes in this country. Aim: The aim of this article is to investigate family literacy programmes currently running in South Africa by means of a theoretical framework. Setting: The data presented here are the result of an electronic search comprising books and journal articles for the period 1990–2019. Methods: For this article, a qualitative analysis was undertaken, using concept analysis as the main data collection technique. Key words such as ‘family literacy’, ‘family literacy programmes’, ‘intergenerational literacy’ and ‘home-school partnerships’ were used to produce a sample obtained by simple random sampling. Results: An inductive data analysis approach was followed to identify and discuss programmes that fit the attributes and criteria of family literacy programmes and to make recommendations towards partnership attributes, resource and activity attributes, and future research to clarify implications. Conclusion: If family literacy programmes are to gain momentum, researchers must continue to unpack what this concept holds to ensure such programmes yield optimal results, not only for participating families, but also for the South African schooling system in general.

南非的家庭扫盲计划：我们应该注意吗？

背景：南非拥有世界上表现最差的教育系统之一。到四年级时，许多学习者已经比同龄人落后2年或更多年，特别是在数学和读写能力方面。经常提出将家庭扫盲计划作为家庭与学校的合作形式，作为支持早期扫盲学习的早期干预措施。家庭扫盲方案在南非仍然是一个新概念，在该国几乎没有进行关于此类方案的性质，可得性和影响的正式研究。目的：本文的目的是通过理论框架调查目前在南非运行的家庭扫盲计划。设置：此处显示的数据是电子搜索的结果，其中包括1990-2019年期间的书籍和期刊文章。方法：对于本文，使用概念分析作为主要数据收集技术，进行了定性分析。诸如“家庭扫盲”，“家庭扫盲计划”，“代际扫盲”和“家校伙伴关系”等关键词被用来产生通过简单随机抽样获得的样本。结果：采用归纳数据分析方法来识别和讨论适合家庭扫盲计划属性和标准的计划，并针对伙伴关系属性，资源和活动属性以及未来的研究提出建议，以阐明影响。结论：如果要提高家庭识字计划的活力，研究人员必须继续阐明这一概念的内容，以确保此类计划不仅为参与的家庭提供最佳的结果，
