"I Am the Universe": Toward a Reader Model That Centers Culture
Roderick Peele1; Kindel Turner Nash2
Reading Teacher, v78 n5 p258-266 2025
Culture and language shape the way people read. Yet, within many popular reading models of reading development, culture is a component, if featured at all. Illustrated through examples of pro-Black, culturally sustaining, emancipatory practices of one teacher, this article highlights the Cultural Sustenance View of Reading, a reader model that can be used by reading teachers to center and sustain culture in children's reading development and their literacy futures.
