| Summary | Annotation A daring critique of racism and other societal factors that affect children's learning, this important volume: - Explores the limits and potential of mainstream literacy practices to make a material difference in the lives of socio-economically struggling families.- Challenges educators to view reading as a complex social process that incorporates the experiences of family members as well as school and individual experiences.- Provides a literacy model that treats the process of learning to read as situated not only within local contexts but also within a larger social order.- Offers recommendations to help educators to build on the literacy experiences students bring with them to schools in poor communities and to respect the particular difficulties that these children face when learning to read. |
