Based on extensive research that proves that children actively make sense of literacy outside the official schooling and parental tuition they receive, this book examines how young children take literacy learning into their own hands.
When reading this book, please pay special note on how Gregory defines the terms of culture, literacy, and knowledge. They are unlike what we see in the typical dictionary and are embedded in the history of a child's culture. A great book for constructing an anit-bias and multiculturally infused early childhood classroom
