Designing Critical Literacy Practices
What do we know?
- Critical literacy is literacy instruction that is student-centered and focuses on student goals (p. 248).
- Designing critical literacy requires, "finding an instructional-level text, crafting book introductions, teaching for problem solving, integrating word work into the reading and writing, and spending the majority of their time on reading and writing connected texts," (p. 250-251).
- Implementing critical literacy framework can enhance "comprehension, engagement, and interest" (p. 258).
What can the literacy coach encourage?
Using social justice themed anchor texts to teach empathy in the classroom. Anchor charts can hung up around the room to be used as visual reminders and references to reinforce a message after it being taught.
Creating space for students to read their social world, to strengthen multiple literacies. There are many ways in which students can strenghtn their lliteracy skills as they navigate through different environmental and social experiences in the classroom.
Engagement in in-depth genre studies so students can understand the structure of particular discourses, which will, in turn, enhance comprehension. As we know, comprehension is one of the most important aspects of literacy because without this skills one will be unable to understand content across all subject areas. Activating background knowledge reinforces comprehension skills providing students with an understanding of what they are reading. .
Moving out of your comfort zone to allow difficult feelings and conversations to happen. Stepping out of your comfort zone allows for new experiences that one may have feared to try.Students and adults feel comfortable doing this when they are in a safe and comfortable environment.
EMBRACE THE CHANGE.
