More mirrors in the classroom
Nearly 30% of all public school children attend school in large or mid-size cities. For schools serving culturally and linguistically diverse populations and large numbers of children living in poverty, a significant achievement gap persists. Proponents of multicultural education often advocate for instruction with culturally relevant texts to promote inclusion, compassion, and understanding of our increasingly diverse society. Less discussion has focused on the significant body of research that suggests that culturally relevant texts have important effects on language and literacy development. By \"connecting the dots\" of existing research, More Mirrors in the Classroom raises awareness about the critical role that urban children's literature can play in helping children learn to read and write. In addition, it provides practical step-by-step advice for increasing the cultural relevance of school curricula in order to accelerate literacy learning.Increasing cultural relevance with children's literature -- The power of the mirror : identity, academic self-concept, and motivation to learn -- Enhancing reading and writing instruction with urban children's literature -- Supporting the literacy development of dual language learners -- Urban children's literature as a critical subgenre -- Guidelines for text selection : literature -- Guidelines for text selection : informational texts -- Cultural and linguistic authenticity in urban children's literature -- Transforming you curriculum with urban children's literature -- Getting started : adding more mirrors in the classroom.cloth More Mirrors in the Classroom: Using Urban Children's Literature to Increase Literacy is the first book in the Kids Like Us series.
