This work offers parents, educators, and librarians a practical
guide to discovering the ways gender identities are constructed
through literacy practices, providing recommendations for
addressing gender inequities in schools and in the community at
large. Gender and Literacy: A Handbook for Educators and Parents
focuses on issues related to the gendered experience of students
from pre-kindergarten through grade 12, promoting an understanding
that the issues surrounding gender cannot be reduced to broad
generalizations. Author Karen A. Krasny seeks to make clear the
complex notion of gender construction within the context of
redefining what constitutes legitimate literacy practices in
schools. This handbook will help to guide educators, parents, and
librarians by assisting them in the selection and evaluation of
print and media resources. The first chapter explains the need to
understand the complex relationship between gender and literacy.
The bulk of the book provides readers with a critical review of the
studies conducted to investigate gendered literacy practices, while
the last three chapters focus on actionable strategies and policy
making.
