Book synopsis

African American students represent an academically §low performing group according to standardized §measures in such areas as reading. Yet, the question §remains, What can be done to motivate and §academically engage African American learners in §reading? §§It has been theorized by several researchers in the §field of linguistics and education that low §achievement in reading can be attributed in part to §some African American learners oral language §traditions, possible limited experiences with early §literacy development and printed text. §African American student underachievement will §persist without advances in research-based practices §that are culturally and linguistically responsive §and accommodate their learning needs. §§This book provides theories, explanations and §methods for reading achievement of African American §students that will help educators and practitioners §to carry out and understand the importance of §providing culturally and linguistically responsive §curriculum and instruction for this population of §students in reading.
