About the Book

This book is a sequel to the author's earlier volume entitled, Literacy Instruction in Multicultural Settings. In addition to extensive updating of earlier material, this book extends the content coverage to include issues of power, attitudes, and systemic change through the application of discourse theory and critical theory. In doing so, however, the author has tried to maintain the brevity, stylistic clarity, and classroom focus of the earlier volume.

Table of Contents:
Contents: Preface.Students of Diverse Backgrounds and the Literacy Achievement Gap. Understanding the Gap: Explanations and Solutions. Discourses and Literacy in the Home and Community. Workshop Approaches to Literacy Learning. Ownership and Building a Classroom Community. Providing Instruction in Reading Comprehension Strategies. Culturally Responsive Instruction in Multiethnic Classrooms. Second Language Learners, Multiliteracy, and the Language of Power. Effective Instruction of Phonics and Other Skills. Schoolwide Change to Improve Literacy Achievement.

Review :
"A book such as 'Multicultural Issues and Literacy Achievement', by Kathryn Au, would be an excellent resource for teacher education and could also serve as valuable teacher's lounge reading material. Au integrates valuable research with clear application and does so in a lucid manner. Her book is a clearly written academic work, which reflects the author's personal experience and interactions with involved colleagues....she seeks to look at familiar issues in education through new lenses and to stimulate thinking, discussion, and reflection among her readers....she succeeds in doing so remarkably well with this clear, understandable, jargon-free book." —PsycCRITIQUES
