SCIRA Winter Conference 2018
Jane Fleming - Culturally Relevant Texts to Support Literacy
The use of literature in which learners see themselves and their communities reflected and valued can increase the effectiveness of literacy instruction. Learn how to include “mirror” books that reflect children’s lives and experiences, and “window” books that offer views of the broader world in your classroom. “Mirrors” especially help children feel included and connected in their classrooms. Research shows that such culturally relevant texts significantly impact reading and writing development.
Jane Fleming is a reading specialist with more than 20 years’ experience working in urban public schools in Chicago, St. Louis, and Washington, DC. She is co-founder of KIDS LIKE US, a non-profit organization dedicated to children’s literacy learning in urban schools. KIDS LIKE US advocates for culturally relevant instruction and access to books in which children can see themselves, their families, and their communities represented and valued.
