Literacy Practices for African-American Male Adolescents: The Student at the Center Series
Focusing on African-American males, the author describes how current school literacy practices and policies are overly generic and miss the mark. Placing student-centered learning in the context of race and gender, this paper reviews literature on factors that impede reading achievement, provides a socio-historical perspective for advancing African-American male literacy, proposes a framework of literacy instruction, and discusses implications for research, policy, and practice.
