While this is one component of the reading process, it is important for teacher candidates to see a broader more complete picture of reading. Given the role that reading plays in the elementary school curriculum, it is imperative that teachers have a well-developed understanding of the reading process and what it means to be a teacher of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eLiterate Lives: Teaching Reading and Writing in the Elementary Classroom\u003c\/i\u003e covers the major theories and application strategies of the reading process as well as current debates in the field using a unique framework that builds upon the following themes:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ebelieving that literacy is based in social, cultural, and historical contexts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eassuming an inquiry stance - being ‘problem posers’ and wondering ‘why’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eusing “kidwatching” (Goodman, 1985) as an assessment tool to make informed instructional decisions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003erecognizing and using the multiple literacies that children bring to the classroom\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003elingering and reflecting on one’s decisions in light of what one knows and believes.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmy Seely Flint\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Professor at Georgia State University.
