Edwards, Kristen L. White, Laura J. Hopkins, and Ann M. Castle present a model that allows educators to address educational inequity through the critical and adaptive use of existing literacy curriculum materials. In this accessible work, they advise educators on ways to combine common classroom materials, such as basal readers and core reading programs, with instructional practices that provide high-quality, responsive instruction to all students. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Edwards, White, Hopkins, and Castle credit literacy instruction as a core part of overall educational equity, and they recognize the crucial role that educators play in translating materials into instruction that benefits all learners. Here they offer teacher education in support of this essential role, deftly guiding educators through a four-part development process, CARE, an acronym for cultivating critical consciousness, analyzing materials, reconstructing curricula, and evaluating instruction reflectively to advance equity. Built upon culturally relevant, sustaining, and antiracist pedagogy, CARE enables teachers to provide literacy instruction that meets the range of needs and performance levels in classrooms, supporting students in attaining academic achievement, cultural competence, and critical consciousness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The approach outlined in this work, which can be put into immediate practice, helps educators to provide literacy instruction that builds on students' multiple literacies and reduces educational inequity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Based upon their careful reading of the science of reading and the inequities in America’s schools, these experienced educators have assembled a set of professional tools to help teachers transform even the most mundane of commercial language arts programs into culturally relevant, culturally sustaining, antiracist curricula. Educational alchemy at its best!” —P. David Pearson, Evelyn Lois Corey Emeritus Chair in Instructional Science, Berkeley School of Education, University of California, Berkeley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Edwards and her coauthors have written an important book. They propose the CARE framework as a road map to equitable literacy instruction. Empowering teachers to leverage students’ funds of knowledge and literacy histories alongside the mandated literacy curriculum materials is at the core of this framework, and recommendations are provided for achieving this goal.” —Pamela Mason, senior lecturer, Harvard Graduate School of Education","brand":"Harvard Educational Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50469818892631,"sku":"9781682538258","price":29.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781682538258.jpg?v=1744896372","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/teaching-with-literacy-programs-equitable-instruction-for-all-9781682538258","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
