Parenting while transitioning out of incarceration, homelessness, or drug addiction has received inadequate attention despite the fact that these factors affect more and more of the U.S. population each day. This article is about a family literacy program implemented in a residential treatment facility where the fathers, most of whom were previously incarcerated and now receiving treatment for substance use disorder, have been parenting from afar with limited access to their children. Fathers participated in a family literacy program where they respond to children’s literature with the intention of eventually reading with their children. Our research was guided by the following question: How do fathers who are separated from their children while in a residential treatment program, read and respond to children’s literature in a small‐group setting? Findings reflect how fathers wanted to share their feelings about parenting and also consider their identities as fathers who were also addicts.

“当我们进一步谈论这个问题时，就会打开一个盒子”：针对物质使用障碍的父亲的家庭识字计划

尽管这些因素每天都在影响越来越多的美国人口，但在摆脱监禁，无家可归或吸毒成瘾的过程中养育子女却没有得到足够的重视。本文是关于在一个住宅治疗设施中实施的家庭识字计划的，那里的父亲大多被监禁，现在正在接受药物滥用症的治疗，他们在远方为人父母，接触子女的机会有限。父亲参加了一项家庭识字计划，在其中他们回应孩子们的文学作品，并最终与孩子们一起读书。我们的研究受到以下问题的指导：在住院治疗计划中与子女分离的父亲如何？在小组环境中阅读和回应儿童文学？调查结果反映了父亲们希望如何分享对育儿的感受，并考虑了他们作为成瘾者的父亲的身份。
