Beskrivning

At the present time, schools in many places have found themselves in the midst of a culture war. While interest from teachers in having critical conversations with students is growing, they nonetheless face challenges. These tensions reflect a larger world of social and political unrest, where our nation’s schools are often caught in the middle.This work aims to equip educators with tools to facilitate critical conversations with students - to question what they read, consume, and hear. Reading to Belong: Identity, Perspective and Advocacy in the Elementary Grades bridges the gap between research and practice by sharing snapshots of conversations happening in real classrooms. The language of mirrors and windows anchors discussions as students deepen an understanding of themselves, experience different perspectives, and ultimately use this knowledge to change their world for the better.

Recensioner i media

Reading and literacy learning provide key spaces for teachers to enact a multicultural curriculum that facilitates critical conversations to help students learn the power of their voices, engage as change agents, and become curious about the world around them. The authors share snapshots of practice in real classrooms and provide an understanding that teachers can use to directly support their students by shaping positive identities and supportive communities. Framed with critical literacy theory and grounded in the idea that texts reflect experience and build empathy, the authors provide stories drawn from three districts in the Pacific Northwest. The chapters are filled with useful activities and include pause-and-reflect boxes with essential questions to help readers analyze their practices. Several chapters end with lists of select picture books that can connect readers to ideas of identity and empathy. Practicing and preservice teachers will find this volume a valuable and insightful resource. Summing Up: Recommended. Advanced undergraduates and practitioners.
