It is important for students to use their primary language for literacy events because the students are better able to elaborate using the language their accustomed to. Also this prevents the students from misinterpreting the meaning of the text due to a translational error.

This would apply to students with an Appalachian dialect just as it would for any other dialect.

Reading aloud from a student centered perspective involves observing the students peer to peer interactions and allowing them to chose which aspects of the story they talk about which encourages them to bring their own experiences into the conversation. A teacher centered perspective focuses on guiding the students conversation with prompts from the teacher.
