Culturally Responsive Literacy Instruction
Recent studies affirm that to improve literacy instruction, we must examine teaching expertise. Teaching ability, over and above reading programs, is the major contributor to students' literacy success. This new practitioner brief from the National Center for Culturally Responsive Educational Systems (NCCRESt) discusses the importance of using multiple forms of literacy and writing for real-life purposes. It suggests that multiethnic literature, as part of a literature-based reading program, can be used in the classroom to affirm the cultural identity of culturally and linguistically diverse students and to develop all students' understanding and appreciation of other cultures.
