Syncretising ways of doing, seeing and becoming in children's faith-inspired text-making and conversations around texts at home
This article examines the faith-inspired text-making of two siblings of Sri Lankan Tamil Hindu/Saiva heritage growing up in present-day London and the post-production conversations around the texts with one of the authors. Conceptually, we combine insights from syncretic literacy studies with an approach to faith as cultural practice. We argue that a syncretic lens can be enriched by an explicit focus on children's faith-inspired texts as materia…
Divine games and rituals
This paper contributes to our understanding of how siblings in diasporic settings teach and learn from each other through their faith play. It draws upon data from a longitudinal ethnographic study (2009–2013) exploring how children become literate through faith activities across four communities in London. The longitudinal study examines children's emerging faith literacies, focusing on ways in which they are socialised into their faith at the s…
Practice, performance and perfection
In this article we examine the role played by one key sacred text in children's learning in four faith communities in London (Bangladeshi British Muslim, Tamil Hindu, Ghanaian Pentecostal and Polish Catholic).

We focus particularly on the importance of pra…

After outlining a sociocultural approach to learning and discussing how faith situates itself within this frame, we show ways in which field narratives provide a bridge between the past, present and future o…
