Today's public schools represent greater student diversity than
ever before in the history of the United States, yet pedagogical
approaches as mandated by state education agencies and school
districts superimpose mainstream curricula and instructional
practices which ultimately disadvantage the academic outcomes of
the majority minority: African American and Hispanic/Latino(a)
students. Unfortunately, national report findings also heighten the
educational crisis that exists for Black and Brown children with
regard to reading and writing achievement. As a result, there is
need to deeply explore the relationship between Black and Brown
student literacy achievement and educational policy, teacher
education program, curriculum, and assessment. This book seeks to
provide some practical insights guided by conceptual and contextual
knowledge by understanding how to teach urban African American and
Hispanic/Latino(a) students by discussing culturally appropriate
instructional strategies that have demonstrated success among
African American and Hispanic/Latino(a) students. This book will
showcase successful models for teaching literacy to urban student
through a discussion of topics that include: (1) increasing
literacy achievement and motivation, (2) multicultural literacy
practices, and (3) early and elementary literacy instruction.
