Selvester, professor of teacher education, School of Education, California State University, Chico, and Deborah G. Summers, professor of secondary adolescent literacy and director of the School of Education at California State University, Chico. Foreword by Shirley Brice Heath The authors draw on the voices of adolescent readers to discover how teachers can encourage their students to explore their identities, face injustices, and contribute to their communities. Readers learn how to incorporate the core issues of a socially responsible pedagogy into their own curricula to support strong literacy skills across the content areas. Each chapter includes reflection questions that move the reader toward personal and professional development, along with classroom applications that provide specific strategies and ideas for engaging literacy projects. This dynamic book: • Outlines a socially responsible pedagogy that will motivate even the most disengaged students • Recognizes the importance of explicitly addressing issues of power and identity • Examines effective school-wide models that promote a climate of responsibility.

Gambrell, Clemson University “Should be required reading for anyone who cares about the lives of children and the health of our society.” —Kyle Zimmer, President and CEO, First Book Giving Our Children a Fighting Chance Poverty, Literacy, and the Development of Information Capital Susan B. Neuman, professor of Educational Studies at the University of Michigan, and has served as the U.S. Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education. Donna C. Celano, assistant professor of Communication at La Salle University in Philadelphia. “Groundbreaking and sobering...a must-read for anyone who cares about equal opportunity.” —Eugenia Kemble, Executive Director, Albert Shanker Institute This book takes you inside two communities with drastically different economic resources to provide powerful insights into the role that literacy can play in giving low-income students a fighting chance. Over the course of a 10-year investigation, the authors of this important new work came to understand that the disparity between affluence and poverty had created a knowledge gap—far more important than mere achievement scores—with serious implications for students’ economic prosperity and social mobility. At the heart of this knowledge gap is the limited ability of students from poor communities to develop information capital.

Anyone faced with that challenge should jubilate at the appearance of this book.” —From the Foreword by Catherine E. Snow, Harvard Graduate School of Education “A timely, comprehensive, and readable account of what we know about teaching vocabulary to students in general and English learners in particular. No one should underestimate the enormity of the challenge English learners face and this book will provide educators with an important foundation to help meet this challenge.” —Claude Goldenberg, Stanford University, School of Education Teaching Vocabulary to English Language Learners Michael F. Graves, Professor Emeritus of Literacy Education, University of Minnesota, Diane August, Managing Director affiliated with the American Institutes for Research in Washington, DC., and Jeannette Mancilla-Martinez, Assistant Professor of Language, Literacy, and Technology, University of California, Irvine Foreword by Catherine E. Snow “The Common Core State Standards have ushered in an era of rigorous performance standards for all students, including English learners. But the conversation has taken place almost exclusively in policy and academic circles, leaving teachers without a roadmap on how to translate these standards into successful practices in the classroom. The authors of this book successfully address this gap. They provide practical, researchbased strategies to build a solid foundation for the education of English learners.” —Rosa Aronson, TESOL Executive Director This resource is broad enough to include instruction for students who are just beginning to build their English vocabularies, as well as for students whose English vocabularies are approaching those of native speakers. The authors describe a four-pronged program that follows these key components: providing rich and varied language experiences; teaching individual words; teaching word learning strategies; and fostering word consciousness. This user-friendly book integrates up-to-date research on best practices for the K–12 classroom and includes vignettes, classroom activities, sample lessons, a list of children’s literature, and more.
