"They're Like Slash": Multimodality and Embodied Agency in Students' Critical Engagements with Texts
María José Aragón; Meghan Corella; Nora W. Lang – Reading Research Quarterly, 2025
Despite recent calls to more fully incorporate multimodal perspectives into literacies research, there is still limited scholarship examining how students critically engage in reading activities by drawing on embodied practices. Racially and linguistically minoritized students are particularly disadvantaged by dominant logocentric and…

Aguilar, Stephen J.; Polikoff, Morgan S.; Sinatra, Gale M. – Educational Researcher, 2019
Individuals often have misconceptions about education policy issues.

For that reason, Yen would sometimes pay a triple fee to freelance writers. And for the same reason, he typically wouldn't fire the occasional…

Enguidanos, Tomas; Ruiz, Nadeen T. – Focus on Exceptional Children, 2008
Historically, and continuing to the present, children in the primary grades receive the lion's share of attention and resources in learning to read. This makes sense: Young, early readers have a head start in achieving well not only in literacy skills, but in school in general. However, as inner-city, middle-grade teachers will readily attest,…
