Böcker av Kathryn H. Au

This sequel to Literacy Instruction in Multicultural Settings extends the coverage to include issues of power, attitudes, and systemic change through the application of discourse theory and critical theory. The author has tried to maintain the brevity, stylistic clarity, and classroom focus of the earlier volume.

Addresses the question of what educators can do to close the literacy achievement gap. It begins by outlining theory and research and then provides practical strategies to help teachers improve the literacy learning of students of diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
