It offers practical strategies for teaching and supports trainee teachers to understand that: *children's individual backgrounds need to be valued and drawn upon; *deficit descriptions of disadvantaged children and low expectations must be avoided and challenged; *schools teachers and classrooms must provider rich literacy environments for learning.
