The essays, research studies, and pedagogical examples in this book
provide a window into the embodied dimensions of literacy and a
toolbox for interpreting, building on, and inquiring into the range
of ways people communicate and express themselves as literate
beings. The contributors investigate and reflect on the
complexities of embodied literacies, honoring literacy learners and
teachers as they holistically engage with texts in complex
sociopolitical, historical, and cultural contexts. Considering
these issues within a multiplicity of education spaces and literacy
events inside and outside of institutional contexts, the book
offers a fresh lens and rhetoric with which to address literacy
education policies, giving readers a discursive repertoire
necessary to develop and defend responsive curricula within an
increasingly high-stakes, standardized schooling climate.

From the authors of the popular blog and resource for teachers, The
Classroom Bookshelf, this book offers a framework and teaching
ideas for using recently released children's and young adult
literature to build a culture of inquiry and engagement from a
text-first approach. Reading With Purpose is designed to help K–8
teachers tap into their inner reader, to make intentional text
selections for their students, and to create joyful and
purpose-driven literacy learning experiences. The heart of the book
is organized according to four purposes for selecting and using
literature: care for ourselves and one another, connect with the
past to understand the present, closely observe the world around
us, and cultivate critical consciousness. Each chapter includes
classroom stories, accessible research, reasons for why this
matters now, and criteria for selecting for this purpose. A final
section provides teaching invitations that pair with suggested
books but can also be used with any high-quality book teachers may
already have in their classrooms. Book Features: Builds on
important work from thought leaders, urging teachers to create
their own reading identities so they can help their students do the
same. Describes a simple, sustainable framework teachers and
teacher educators can use immediately to make more purposeful text
selections. Provides myriad teaching ideas, narrative anecdotes
from diverse classrooms, student work samples, and reflective
questions. Offers a list of recommended, recently published
children's and young adult literature.
This text investigates the literate identities and practices of
urban youth in rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods, with a focus on
New York Citys Harlem neighborhood. The author takes a
participatory action approach to define and engage with new
directions in youth literacies in socially constructed spaces
(i.e., classrooms, gentrifying communities). The author examines
connections between race and place by discussing how Harlem youth,
teachers, longtime black residents, and new white residents to the
area view their role within the gentrification process, with quotes
from community members and stakeholders. The active response of
youth, via critical literacy/storytelling, in both traditional
(print) and multimodal (digital video, etc) forms is investigated,
honored, and thoughtfully considered for powerful implications for
in-service teaching practice, educational policy, and teacher
education. Vignettes, photos, and quotes from students and
community members are included throughout.
This practical resource will help K-6 practitioners grow their
literacy practices while also meeting the needs of emergent
bilingual learners. Building on the success of The Reading
Turn-Around, this book adapts the five-part framework for reading
instruction to the specific needs of emergent bilinguals. Designed
for teachers who have not specialized in bilingual instruction, the
authors provide an accessible introduction to differentiating
instruction that focuses on utilizing students' strengths,
identities, and cultural backgrounds to foster effective literacy
instruction. Chapters include classroom vignettes, teacher
exercises, illustrations of powerful reading plans for the student
and teacher, resources for culturally and linguistically diverse
children's literature, and tools to engage with students' families
and communities.
