Summary
  • "As a former teacher in the public school system, Dierdre Glenn Paul provides specific tools that parents can work with to make their children lifelong lovers of reading and writing."
  • "This guide is geared specifically to black children from the perspective of an educator and parent. Building on the premise that the foundations of educational success and literacy begin in the home, Paul stresses the need for early involvement in the learning process. She challenges the traditional notion that issues surrounding child development and parent education are apolitical and neutral. She provides historical framework that gives a firm foundation upon which to build an understanding of literacy as potentially emancipatory and empowering. This guide includes an annotated bibliography featuring exemplary adolescent and children's literature."--Jacket.
