Response to Morrell and Andrade

I believe cultural vuluation lead to higher levels of literacy acquisition because people become more engage with literacy when they are familiar with the methods use to teach it. Most students do not perform well in literacy because they are not familiar with the tools and languages that are used in the teaching of literacy. However when any aspect of their culture are used in the process of teaching literacy they become better learners because they are comfortable with the subject been discuss. I believe when educators used students cultures in their teaching, students are motivated to learn because they are proud that people respect and honor their culture. Also I believe culture vuluation lead to higher levels of literacy acquisition because students become attentive when they recognize any aspect of their culture in the process of learning. Their love and respect for their culture encourge them to take literacy seriously. Using students culture in literacy make them better learners because they feel powerful and accepted in the education system, I believe they experience joy and attachment to literacy when they are discussing it with their native languages , arts or music.
