Approximately 45% of young black children in the United States
(under the age of six) live in poverty. It is well documented that
education and economic security are inextricably linked and that
early learning and early reading are undisputed contributors to a
successful education. This book presents both the challenges and
opportunities that exist for addressing the critical needs of black
children, who have been historically underserved in the U.S.
education system. This book explores the language, cognitive,
social-emotional, and health development of black children from
birth to age 8. The chapters approach this in three ways; first,
they tackle why it is problematic to only characterize Black
children's accomplishment in terms of "academic achievement."
Second, they discuss the importance of the home-school environment
connection. Lastly, they discuss the changes that need to be in
teacher preparation in order to ensure that the workforce can
practice racial equity in the classroom. These issues are woven
together by a call to close the education opportunity gap via
'equity adjustments' that can target educational and health
disparities facing the black community.
