Author Biography: Vivian Maria Vasquez

Book Synopsis

Vasquez (American University) draws on her classroom experiences to demonstrate how group discussions and everyday conversations with pre- kindergarten children can be used to create an integrated critical literacy curriculum over the course of one school year. Transcripts of 3-5-year-old children discovering that McDonald's manipulates children with collectable toy offers and discussing the inequity of collectibles for poor families with many children will inspire teachers to reproduce the activities Vasquez describes.
