Download or read book The Colonization of Literacy Education written by Julie L. Pennington and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literacy and justice for all? 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.

The Colonization of Literacy Education reveals how teachers' instructional practices were subject to educational policy constructions of the literacy capabilities of children of color.
