"In Reading, Writing, and Talk, Souto-Manning and Martell succeed
in honoring their commitment to 'reading words, but also reading
worlds--and rewriting them transformatively, in just and inclusive
ways.'" --Journal of Education
"This book is an important read for current and future primary
grade teachers who want to help children achieve their full
potential through culturally-relevant and inclusive instruction.
Souto-Manning and Martell identify many ways teachers can honor the
voices, stories, languages, and cultures that the children bring to
the classroom and promote high levels of academic achievement. The
authors gently guide teachers to consider their current views of
diversity and demonstrate how a deficit view and standardization of
the curriculum and/or not holding high expectations for children
can limit their potential." --TC Record
