<br/><br/> "Using teaching vignettes, cases for exploration, and research in the field, this text provides teachers with effective, research-based literacy strategies they can use to improve their practice with students from diverse backgrounds. The cases - drawn from urban, rural, and suburban settings - allow teachers to make connections between classroom challenges and the research literature that can help them become problem solvers and reflective practitioners."--BOOK JACKET.
