For those who truly wish to leave no child behind, the racial
achievement gap in literacy is one of the most difficult issues in
education today, and nowhere does it manifest itself more
perniciously than in the case of black adolescent males.
Approaching the problem from the inside, Alfred Tatum brings
together his various experiences as a black male student, middle
school teacher working with struggling black male readers, reading
specialist in an urban elementary school, and staff developer in
classrooms across the nation. His new book," Teaching Reading to
Black Adolescent Males "offers teachers and schools a way to
reconceptualize literacy instruction for those who need it
most.
Alfred bridges the connections among theory, instruction, and
professional development to create a roadmap for better literacy
achievement. He presents practical suggestions for providing
reading strategy instruction and assessment that is explicit,
meaningful, and culturally responsive, as well as guidelines for
selecting and discussing nonfiction and fiction texts with black
males.
The author's first-hand insights provide middle school and high
school teachers, reading specialists, and administrators with new
perspectives to help schools move collectively toward the essential
goal of literacy achievement for all.
