This qualitative research paper investigates the out-of-school literacy practices and ‘funds of identity’ of two Grade 2 children from distinct sociocultural backgrounds. Through an in-depth case study, the paper delves into the active, purpose-driven, and engaging nature of these young learners’ out-of-school literacy practices. The findings of the study illuminate the pivotal roles of poems, rhymes, drawing, and technology in stimulating young learners’ curiosity and active participation in literacy. Importantly, the paper underscores the impact of sociocultural and economic contexts on children’s access to diverse literacy experiences and technologies. It further emphasizes the powerful influence of traditional school literacy practices in framing children’s perceptions of literacy. In conclusion, the paper offers crucial insights into the multifaceted world of early childhood literacy development. It calls for equitable access to diverse literacy experiences and suggests the need for adaptable school literacy practices that can cater to the diverse needs of young learners, ultimately contributing to fostering a generation of confident, engaged, critical, and literate children.
