Özet

In this chapter, the authors review research from the field of literacy education to provide insight into trauma-informed practices in educational spaces. To begin, they explain our methodology, which was approached as an integrative research review. Then, they detail theoretical and conceptual frameworks that inform our thinking about the scholarship on trauma-informed literacies: trauma pedagogies, critical witnessing and critical literacies. Next, research and pedagogies in the field of literacy education relevant to trauma-informed approaches are outlined. Specifically, literacy research underscores classroom texts and discussions, writing instruction and the writing process, family literacy programs, multilingual instruction, visual and multimodal approaches, as essential aspects of trauma-informed spaces. The chapter concludes with implications for research and practice.
