Two studies, one of middle school students and the other of high school students, demonstrated that students who were labeled as 'struggling' in the area of literacy saw themselves quite differently when their voices were heard. When these labeled students were viewed through a strengths lens rather than a deficits one, competent literacy skills of the students surfaced, and they were empowered by what they learned about their literacy skills. These research studies explore self‐efficacy and resiliency for literacy, the importance of knowing students deeply, relationship building, and the role of growth mindset for students who have been labeled but consider themselves literate beings.

尊重学生的声音：显然，我是一个有文化的人

两项研究，一项是中学生，另一项是高中生，表明在识字领域被贴上“挣扎”标签的学生在听到他们的声音时对自己的看法大不相同。当通过优势而不是劣势来看待这些被贴上标签的学生时，学生的读写能力就会浮出水面，他们从他们所学到的读写技能中获得了力量。这些研究探讨了读写能力的自我效能和弹性、深入了解学生的重要性、建立关系以及成长心态对被贴上标签但认为自己是有文化的学生的作用。
