Abstract

This editorial introduction considers what it means to teach literacy well in a changing world. The contributions in this collection address foundational reading instruction, collaborative writing, family engagement, bilingual and immigrant literacy experiences, and critical perspectives on race and representation. Book reviews extend the conversation to literacy as meaning making, identity development, and learning across childhood, adolescence, and teacher education. Taken together, the pieces present literacy as both a set of skills students need and a social practice shaped by language, relationships, culture, and opportunity. The collection invites educators to reflect on how literacy teaching can remain relevant and responsive to learners across contexts.

Keywords: editorial introduction, literacy
