*Special Needs of Aboriginals in the Teaching of Reading
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 July 2015
Extract
Success in teaching reading does not depend simply on materials and schemes. Locked into our own cultural norms as we are, we may overlook other fundamental influences.
The reason why some children take longer to talk to you is because they want to know you properly before they start talking. I know white people talk a lot to each other before they know each other properly.
(Ungunmerr 1976, p.4)
