Standard English and the Teaching of Literacy.
Walker, Laurie
Canadian Journal of Education, v15 n4 p334-47 Fall 1990
The relationships between Standard English and literacy teaching are explored. It is argued that Standard English should be taught as a socially authorized discourse within a particular culture, along with respect for and acceptance of nonstandard forms of the English language that children use.
