Reading Time The Literate Lives of Urban Secondary Students and Their Families

Informationen zum Autor Catherine Compton-Lilly is an associate professor in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has taught in the public school system for 18 years. Her books include Reading Families , Re-reading Families , and Bedtime Stories and Book Reports . Klappentext While teachers cannot travel back in time to visit their students at earlier ages, they can draw on the rich sets of experiences and knowledge that students bring to classrooms. In her latest book, Catherine Compton-Lilly examines the literacy practices and school trajectories of eight middle school students and their families. Through a unique longitudinal lens--the author has studied these same students from first grade--we see how students from a low-income, inner-city community grow and develop academically, revealing critical insights for teachers about literacy development, identity construction, and school achievement.
