Carr and Lee (2012) developed Learning Stories as a way of understanding and celebrating learner identities in young children. These narratives are stories about children “based on [teachers’] observations that reveal new insights into children’s perspectives” (Curtis & Carter, 2013). Curtis and Carter note that many teachers “write them directly to the child, which some people have characterized as akin to a love letter. This brings [the educator’s voice] into the story powerfully, always conveying a sense of how competent children are.”
