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.

Today's students use their digital expertise and the power of their voice to respond to issues of inequity in society.

This book is designed to increase educators' capacity and agency to respond to inequities that plague our educational syste...
