Celia Genishi and Anne Haas Dyson talk about how adults who are responsible for the educational program in an early childhood center adapt it so that each child's language is recognized and valued in their article, "Ways of Talking — Respecting Differences," in the Exchange book, Literacy - A Beginnings Workshop Book.
