- Summary
- Despite many education reform efforts, African American children remain the most miseducated students in the United States. To help you mend this critical problem, this collection of original, adapted, and previously published articles provides examples of research-based practices and programs that successfully teach African American students to read. Thoughtful commentary on historic and current issues, discussion of research-based best practices, and examples of culturally appropriate instruction help you examine the role of education, identify best practices, consider the significance of culture in the teaching-learning process, and investigate some difficult issues of assessment.
