English Learners

Reaching the Highest Level of English Literacy

Gilbert G. García, editor

This indispensable resource will help you meet the complex literacy needs of the English-language learners in your classroom. The volume examines three important issues:

English reading instruction in an immersion setting

English-language development

Cultural issues as they pertain to English learners

You’ll discover new ways of looking at practice and what you can do to change it. Most important, English Learners emphasizes the importance of cultural heritage and celebrates the variety of voices that English learners represent.

Chapters in this collection are available online to Access IRA subscribers or for pay-per-view purchase.
