  1. Welcome to the 504 Voices Dialect Awareness Curriculum! This document is intended to be a guide for teachers, especially those involved in literacy instruction at the K-3 level, in the New Orleans area. While we've written this to target a K-3 audience, we hope it will be of use to those teaching older students as well, in particular those providing remedial instruction. We've arranged the curriculum into five modules; you can start at the beginning and read straight through, or you can skip around to the sections you find most interesting. The purpose of this guide is to highlight the importance of dialect awareness in the instruction of reading and to provide teachers in New Orleans with a primer on features they may encounter in the classroom that may affect their instruction.
