Abstract

As a classroom teacher and now a university literacy instructor, I have found myself juggling literacy initiatives and curriculum mandates. Most recently, the science of reading is a hot topic affecting school district and university reading curriculum. My background as a storyteller and Latina woman caused me to go about this process from a different perspective with an emphasis on infusing culturally responsive practices.
