Featuring lively and engaging vignettes of children who are often left behind by our educational system, this book: - Provides a detailed view of written language development from inside a particular childhood culture.- Shows that children bring a rich folk culture to school and demonstrates how they "remix" their cultural references to accommodate school tasks such as writing.-Turns the traditional educational view inside out by starting from inside a child's culture and looking out toward the demands of school, rather than starting on the outside of the child and looking in.- Provides concrete examples of how children's cultural literacy practices translate into classroom practices and, the turn, into practices of academic success.
