What happens when teachers are faced with educational policies ostensibly focused on ensuring that all children will be reading by third grade? This book focuses on how eight educators in one Texas elementary school navigated the policies of the Texas Reading Initiative, a precursor to the No Child Left Behind Act. Exploring how an educational policy that supported a monolithic, simply defined view of literacy education actually decreased expectations for all students, teachers share their views and provide a basis for understanding how  leaving no child behind  has the potential to lower the bar for many children. \u003ci\u003eThe Colonization of Literacy Education\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how teachers' instructional practices were subject to educational policy constructions of the literacy capabilities of children of color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shirley R.
