This article explores the current landscape of children's picture books in terms of the diversity represented, how having a range of diverse populations authentically depicted in picture books impacts culturally and linguistically diverse students, the importance for teachers to seek out culturally relevant literature, and ways that ideologies of literacy transmitted through picture books impact English learners' (ELs') academic success. The authors suggest that books must offer ELs authentic views of all cultures represented in schools and discuss culturally relevant literature and its uses in the classroom. The article presents three pedagogical lenses teachers can explore and incorporate into their curricula to build on their ELs' cultural capital in the classroom: multicultural, multilingual, and strategic. Specific curricular ideas, including pre-, during-, and postreading strategies, are included as are lists of suggested titles for classroom use.

重视英语学习者的生活和体验：拓宽儿童文学的视野

本文探讨了儿童图画书所代表的多样性的现状，图画书中真实描绘的各种不同人群如何影响文化和语言多样化的学生，教师寻找与文化相关的文学作品的重要性，以及通过图画书传播的识字意识形态影响英语学习者 (ELs) 的学业成功。作者建议书籍必须向 EL 提供对学校中所代表的所有文化的真实看法，并讨论与文化相关的文学作品及其在课堂中的用途。本文介绍了教师可以探索的三个教学镜头，并将其纳入他们的课程，以在课堂上建立 EL 的文化资本：多元文化、多语言和战略。
