I am interested in literacy between the ages of 3-10 specifically. I would love to learn more about the language differences that exist between Indigenous languages and English. Understanding the cultural influences that are prevalent in different environments and how best to teach fundamental language literacy in these schools is of definite interest to me.
This paper by a Ph. D student at the University of Victoria helps to address and outline some of the issues and solutions surrounding this topic.
