Reading Students' Lives documents literacy practices across time as
children move through school, with a focus on issues of schooling,
identity construction, and how students and their parents make
sense of students' lives across time. The final book in a series of
four that track a group of low-income African American students and
their parents across a decade, it follows the same children into
high school, bringing to the forefront issues and insights that are
invisible in shorter-term projects. This is a free-standing volume
that breaks new ground both theoretically and methodologically and
has important implications for children, schools, and educational
research. Its significant contributions include the unique
longitudinal nature of the study, the lens it casts on family
literacy practices during high school years, the close and situated
look at the experiences of children from communities that have been
historically underserved by schools, and the factors that
alltoooften cause many of these children to move further and
further away from school, eventually dropping out or failing to
graduate.
