The Brothers and Sisters Learn to Write: Popular Literacies in Childhood and School Cultures
by Anne Haas Dyson
New York: Teachers College Press, 2002
ISBN: 0807742805

This book takes the reader into the literate lives of young children, illustrating how first graders use wide-ranging resources from their out-of-school lives to simultaneously engage in unofficial peer social interactions as well as official writing practices. Dyson illustrates how textual resources—including hip-hop songs, church, television, and sports announcers-- can play important roles in children's school learning.
