Abstract
Reading literacy provides a gateway access to other more complex forms of literacies central for navigating the convolution of today's globalized, digital, and data-saturated world. Positioned within this view, this chapter offers a comprehensive literature review of school-community collaboration and literacy education to shed light on facilitators and barriers central to the partnering efforts in the development of reading literacy. Based on the thematic analysis of careful and exhaustive literature reviews, several interesting themes emerged that depict key facilitators and barriers of school-community collaboration in reading education. The chapter, drawing on the authors' critical reflections of the identified themes, charts the future directions of school-community collaboration in the reading education field, shaping the changing landscape of reading education practice, policy, and research.
