Through eight compelling stories of restorative literacies, Wolter
explores the complex relationships among cognition, metacognition,
identity, behavior in schools, and literacies. Based on the
principles of restorative justice, restorative literacies are
designed to help educators repair harm, restore relationships, and
expand the concept of literacy for some of our most disenfranchised
and disengaged students. Restorative literacies are not just about
growing readers and writers per se. They are about creating a
community of care that involves students, teachers, administrators,
and families so that all students experience racially, culturally,
linguistically, and economically responsive instruction in multiple
forms of literacies. Drawing on the author's rich experiences
cultivating a love of reading among her students and studying the
practices of other educators, Restorative Literacies advances a
provocative set of examples about centering the voice and stories
of people in our quest to humanize and reimagine how we care for,
about, and with others.Book Features: Presents a literacy model of
restorative justice that includes participation from teachers,
principals, administrators, and parents. Contains engaging
narratives from elementary and secondary schools to illustrate
concepts and strategies. Explores compassionate listening as a
conscious process of assuring that all involved are fully heard, a
skill that requires removing assumptions, judgement, and bias.
Identifies practices that take a positive view of learners, as
opposed to referring students to special education. Uses
restoration as an alternative to pushout practices that are
designed to control students and often prevent them from reaching
their capacity.

Reading Upside Down offers a paradigm shift from achievement gaps
to opportunity gaps in literacy instruction. Drawing on the
author's rich experiences working one-on-one with challenged
readers, this book presents case studies illustrating the
complexities of student learning experiences and the unique
circumstances that shaped their acquisition of literacy. Wolter
explores eight key factors that contribute to reading challenges in
developing readers, including school readiness, the use of
prescribed phonics-based programs, physical hurdles, unfamiliarity
with English, and special education labeling. With a focus on the
differences that educators can make for individual students, the
text suggests ways to identify and address early opportunity gaps
that can impact students throughout their entire educational
career.
