What is Culturally Relevant Literature?Culturally Relevant Literature makes critical connections to who students are. It reflects theculture, history, and experiences of students and builds on the cultural capital they bring tothe learning environment to enhance learning. Access to culturally relevant literature thatmotivates students to engage with print is important to both language and literacy acquisition.Culturally Relevant Literature Uses student’s culture and prior experiences to make learning relevant Reflects the day-to-day experiences and activities of students Shows the student’s culture and history positively and accurately Celebrates the culture and traditions of the student Students can identify with the struggles and lives of the characters Often includes the home language of students Comes in various genres (realistic and historical fiction, folktales, poetry,non-fiction, biographies/autobiographies) to tell the story of the people.Reference: V. Harris (1993)LeMoine & Associates Educational Consulting– N. LeMoine, CEO2
How to Use Culturally Relevant Books in the Classroom Teachers should have a Culturally Relevant Classroom Library of at least 200 titles thatrepresent the language, culture, and experiences of the students in their classroom, includingStandard English Learner (SEL) populationsBooks should be displayed in the classroom in an inviting and accessible mannerStudents should be provided with opportunities– throughout the school day– to engage in FreeVoluntary Reading (FVR) and Silent Sustained Reading (SSR)o As SELs engage with print they intuit the structure of languageo “The more students read the better they read and the better they write”o Books in the classroom can serve as models of Standard English for SELsReading to SELs on a daily basis supports the acquisition of language and literacy skillso Being read to is often not a part of the early literacy experiences of SELs so the classroomhas to become the venue for developing emergent literacy skills and an appreciation of booksBooks on tape should be made accessible to SELs through Listening Centers so theycan hear the language of school modeledEncourage students to check-out books for personal enjoymentUse books that incorporate the home language of SELs for “Contrastive Analysis” activitiesLeMoine & Associates Educational Consulting– N. LeMoine, CEO3
