Walker-Dalhouse and Risko focus on disparities in literacy achievement that might be attributed to color-blind practices, deficit mindsets, low expectations, or context-neutral practices. Situating literacy learning within a comprehensive view of literacy development, they provide a set of instructional practices that will best support students living in poverty. Specifically, vignettes from kindergarten through middle school classrooms are used to demonstrate practices that address critical areas of the reading process; are responsive to students' racial, ethnic, cultural, gender, and linguistic histories and assets; attend to students' strengths and needs; and go beyond short-term gains on high-stakes tests to support optimal and sustainable learning. The text features vignettes from leading literacy scholars, including Elizabeth Baker, Susan Cantrell, Jill Lewis Spector, Allison Skerrett, and Kelly Wissman. Readers can use this resource to transform schools into nurturing and vibrant communities that are committed to change, equity, and diversity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides recommendations and detailed guidance for enacting literacy instruction that will close opportunity gaps for students living in poverty.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDemonstrates high-quality literacy instruction implemented in K-8 classrooms.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents instruction that is responsive to differences and honors the languages, literacies, and cultural resources that students bring to their learning.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers specific recommendations and practices that can guide advocacy for change.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Doris Walker-Dalhouse, Victoria J.
