Literacy for Diverse Learners:
Finding Common Ground in Today's Classrooms
Edited by Barbara Honchell, Asst. Professor and Director of the Reading Recovery University Training Center, University of North Carolina, Wilmington, and Melissa Schulz, Asst. Professor of Early Childhood Education, University of Cincinnati

Here you get firsthand knowledge, research, and numerous examples from classroom teachers, teacher educators, administrators, and parents to help you use effective strategies and techniques for supporting the literacy development of all learners. The chapters in the first section exemplify and personify diversity for various learners, children who are not from the mainstream majority because they are at risk for reading and/or writing failure. The six chapters in the second section focus on classroom practices that support diverse learners. The last section is a call to action.
