Finding Yourself in Reading and Writing: Cultural Inclusion in the Classroom

Proposes that to enable students to move along the literacy continuum, the pre-service teacher must become mindful of the multiple cultures and perspectives shaping the classroom. Discusses how a group of university students examined texts of the past and present and then worked to develop a critical awareness of teaching approaches and literacy practices congruent with a culturally inclusive classroom. Explores transaction and transformation through literacy education. (PM)
