Abstract
AbstractEducators of young students who want to invigorate relationships with students’ families and boost student literacy can do so by cocreating culturally sustaining texts. A culturally sustaining text seeks to sustain a reader’s cultures, literacies, and backgrounds. The author shares step‐by‐step instructions on how to make a culturally sustaining text with students and their families using photos from the students’ neighborhoods and a language experience approach. Four major outcomes were found: School personnel increased their understanding of students’ home context, families were more willing to come into school, schools and families built relationships that paved the way for future communication, and students gained a culturally sustaining text to support their literacy learning.
