The Diverse Literacy Community Blog’s Goals and Mission:
Our goal is to provide teachers of diverse learners with research-based literacy practices and resources.
Our mission is to empower teachers so that they can select appropriate instructional strategies to meet the needs of all of their students. We want teachers to have the knowledge and confidence to teach reading and writing in today’s diverse literacy community.
Our blog focuses on the following literacy-related processes and components:
- Fluency
- Phonics
- Writing
- Reading Comprehension
