It's the Only Way to Develop a Balanced View of the World DeVoogd, Glenn Critical Reading Thinking Skills Questioning Techniques Political Influences Librarians Educational Philosophy Student Attitudes Beliefs Educational Strategies Teaching Methods Media Specialists Stereotypes Reading Comprehension Discussion (Teaching Technique) Librarians can help kids expand their view of the world by introducing them to critical literacy. Critical literacy encourages readers to question an author's intentions and to examine issues from multiple perspectives to avoid simplistic statements. It supports a more complex and nuanced understanding of events, recognizing social and political influences. Librarians can enhance kids' perceptions about important historical and current events--from racial profiling to the war on terrorism--by gathering and highlighting information and skills that'll help students question the many ongoing stereotypes that persist today. No one technique can ensure a child has critical literacy skills. However, there are ways to help students question what they read and understand issues in complex ways. This article suggests several approaches teachers, media specialists, and librarians can take to effectively teach children critical literacy.
