Now In Paper! While there is a great lamenting among the public
within educational circles about "illiteracy," especially within
the language minority community, there is little focus on the
possible solutions to the problem of low literacy rates. This body
of work highlights many successful strategies which tackle this
issue. This book is unique in that it approaches the issue of
literacy in the language minority community from many perspectives.
Literacy is investigated as a continuum of interconnected factors.
It takes a hard look at the research in a way that is enlightening
for both researchers and students. Accompanying the research are
numerous suggestions and possible solutions. This book contains the
necessary theoretical base as well as practical solutions. It
includes accounts of reading programs in the classrooms,
recommendations of selected Spanish language books for children,
documentation about cases of free reading at the university level
and the strengths of native language books for adult learners.
Literacy, Access and Libraries is helpful to a wide range of
audiences while detailing the specific concerns of language
minority communities. With a concrete foundation in theories of
literacy the book is also helpful to educators and those concerned
with relationships between communities, and the impact of language
acquisition, literacy, and reading on the social practices of
students. It contains effective strategies for literacy in both
public and private settings, and proves an excellent source of
information for anyone providing services to the language minority
community. Cloth edition previously published in 1998.
