• Literacy is connected to learners’ senses of who they are

• Learners possess funds of knowledge which are their resources that position them as “at-promise” to share and develop as a language user and producer

• Learners’ interests are a part of their identities

• Texts that learners engage with and create to express themselves, MUST represent their interests and identity

• Literacy experiences have an impact on a learner’s confidence and sense of self
