Interconnected third spaces
This conceptual paper theorizes interconnected third spaces through collective inquiry among four literacy researchers across three researcher-initiated, community-based projects with Korean American children and youth. Drawing on focal moments from these projects, we examine how Korean American children and youth negotiate hybrid identities and mobilize multilingual and transnational resources through literacy practices in spaces that are intent…
Inquiries Across Time and Space to Deepen and Broaden Our Understandings of Literacy
When Science of Reading Meets Equity
This practitioner inquiry study examines how equity‐oriented literacy frameworks can enrich a Science of Reading (SoR)–aligned phonics intervention, Road to Reading (RTR). Guided by an Asset‐Based Integrated View of Reading and Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy, 39 pre‐ and in‐service teachers adapted RTR lessons for K‐2 students in a graduate literacy methods course. We qualitatively analyzed 468 lesson plans and 312 reflective mem…

While an understanding of these—whether multisyllabic decoding, fostering comprehension through discussion, or argumentative writing—is important, in this article, we advocate for the importance of attending to principles of motivation. After defining motivation within the context of adolescent literacy instr…

Multidimensional Approaches to Examining Digital Literacies in the Contemporary Global Society
Literacy scholars have offered compelling theories about and methods for understanding the digital literacy practices of youth. However, little work has explored the possibility of an approach that would demonstrate how different perspectives on literacies might intersect and interconnect in order to better describe the multifaceted nature of youth digital literacies. In this conceptual article, we adopt the idea of theoretical triangulation in i…
A Pentagonal Pyramid Model for Differentiation in Literacy Instruction Across the Disciplines
To create an atmosphere that encourages student involvement and develops lifelong learners, educators are finding that differentiated instruction provides a viable framework. Typically, students who populate modern classrooms have diverse interests, varied cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and an assortment of literacy skill levels. Many are familiar with technology and at ease with different modalities of texts (e.g., print, digital). The aut…
