This book draws upon a queer literacy framework to map out examples for teaching literacy across pre-K-12 schooling. To date, there are no comprehensive Pre-K-12 texts for literacy teacher educators and theorists to use to show successful models of how practicing classroom teachers affirm differential (a)gender bodied realities across curriculum and schooling practices. This book aims to highlight how these enactments can be made readily conscious to teachers as a reminder that gender normativity has established violent and unstable social and educational climates for the millennial generation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, (a)gender/(a)sexual, gender creative, and questioning youth. 

sj Miller is Associate Professor of Literacy at the University of Colorado, Boulder, USA and Affiliate Faculty for the University of Colorado's  Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence , LGBTQ Studies, Culture, Language and Social Practice , and Women and Gender Studies. Miller's research is framed around social justice, which cuts across theory, epistemology, and pedagogy and links across socio-spatial justice, Urban Education, preservice and inservice secondary language arts teacher dispositions, and marginalized/undervalued student literacies and identities.
