My Research Interest

I am interested in developing a literature based literacy curriculum in an elementary setting. Especially, I am so interested in multicultural literature. I've taught elementary school children in South Korea. From my experiences, I've learned that good quality literature is more than a source of fun for them. It is a central vehicle for exploring who we are as people, as a culture, and as a society. So, I want to find genuine pearls from thousands of children' books and introduce them to my children. That is my study dream.
