This article summarizes a qualitative study on the literacy practices of Mexican parents and the way in which these practices influenced the literacy development of their children. Carried out in the community of San Andres Cholula, Puebla, Mexico, over a period of fifteen months, the study was based on visits and interviews with eight families, to learn about and analyze the habits and attitudes towards literacy existing within each family. The family visits were compared with observations of the same children in the school context, with a special emphasis on the Spanish subject. In this paper some conclusions are detailed about the influence that the activity and attitudes of the parents apparently had on the process of acquisition and consolidation of literacy in their children. In the same way, some comments are made on how these conclusions can be used to improve the development of literacy in all children from school and family practices.
