Abstract	Literacy practices are intimately connected to the economic, social, cultural, educational, and intellectual dimensions of our lives; and similarly so, even the most ordinary events of our daily lives involve literacy practices. We argue that if schools are going to prepare young people to participate in and contribute to a diverse, complex, and democratic society, then literacy education must begin with recognition of the diversity of ways that written language is used by people across social institutions, communities, and social situations, with recognition of how people adopt and adapt extant literacy practices to new situations and needs, with recognition of how literacy practices connect people and social institutions with each other and with local, national, and global contexts, and with recognition with how literacy practices construct social relationships among people and provide social identities.
