Education professionals interested in understanding student writing
will want to read this book. It describes "Generous Reading," a
novel method of approaching the writing of culturally and
linguistically diverse students. This book addresses the increasing
diversity present throughout schools across the U.S. and in other
countries. Drawing from current research and theory in linguistics
and composition, Spence has developed a way for teachers to tap
into the cultural worlds of students and draw upon their linguistic
understandings in order to help them improve their writing. The
book is based on research projects conducted in the southwest and
southeast regions of the United States. The chapters on language
variation, culturally relevant instruction, and language transfer
will also be of interest to writing teachers. Spence has presented
the Generous Reading method across the nation and internationally
where audiences have been eager to try out the methods in their
classrooms with students of all ages. University professors have
used Generous Reading in teacher education courses. This
methodology has potential to change teachers' perspectives on
student writing and illuminate writing strengths previously
overlooked.
