McLaughlin and DeVoogd have created the best critical literacy book! This book helps bridge the theory of critical literacy with practical strategies to use in the classroom. It is very useful to all teachers considering integrating critical literacy in their classroom. The strategies can be used at any level, K-12.

I love this book! After reading Freire's work, I wanted to use critical literacy in my classroom but wasn't sure how to go about it. This book gives you workable definitions of critical literacy and detailed engagements with authentic texts. Not only a "must read" but a "must use" for all classroom teachers.

I have and do teach general SEI education in the intermediate grades of urban schools. I bought this book two years ago and have carried it around the classroom so much that I now need to buy a new one. The book outlines concise theoretical explanations and provides very practical instructions for implementing critical literacy in the classroom. I use the techniques frequently during guided reading and also during whole group instructions - with the basal and with literature. Learning to think about text from a critical literacy perspective, my students have consistently grown beyond what is expected of them in the area of reading comprehension. As a result, their outstanding standardized test results have attracted the admiration of my superiors and have allowed me more autonomy to teach how I think best. I highly recommend this book to those teachers who share my experience with high-pressure testing environments in the urban classroom. Learning critical literacy will arm your students against the "hidden curriculum" they will continue to be exposed to in school, and will intensely spark their intellectualism.
