Abstract
This symposium explores how young children understand and experience the work of learning to read in elementary school. The studies in these papers reflect a diverse range of methodological approaches and designs; however, they all attend to the perspectives and experiences of elementary school students in relation to becoming and being readers. The papers illustrate why understanding students’ perspectives and experiences is essential to understanding their literacy development and outcomes.
