“If we can help children analyze the text, and maybe we can help them analyze them selves in that text.” Kyleen Beers @HCLA_HCPS @AlonsoHcp @KyleneBeers

[HCLA @HCLA_HCPS]

Relevance doesn’t always have to mean finding things that come directly from students’ lives. It can also mean asking questions that show students that THEY are relevant - that we value their ideas and their voice! #LiteracyRights4All Beers and Probst ❤️

[HCLA @HCLA_HCPS]

“What does it mean for our democracy if we teach one set of skills to some students and another set of skills to others?” Beers and Probst #LiteracyRights4All

[HCLA @HCLA_HCPS]

“Asking dialogic questions (like “What surprised you?”) can help shift the conversation from text alone to the impact of the text on the reader (which increases discussion of the text).” Beers and Probst #LiteracyRights4All

Two words you should think of when you think of literacy - POWER and PRIVELEGE. Beers and Probst #LiteracyRights4All
