{"product_id":"9780807771518","title":"Reading Time: The Literate Lives of Urban Secondary Students and Their Families","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile teachers cannot travel back in time to visit their students at earlier ages, they can draw on the rich sets of experiences and knowledge that students bring to classrooms. In her latest book, Catherine Compton-Lilly examines the literacy practices and school trajectories of eight middle school students and their families. Through a unique longitudinal lens—the author has studied these same students from first grade—we see how students from a low-income, inner-city community grow and develop academically, revealing critical insights for teachers about literacy development, identity construction, and school achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on interviews, reading assessments, and writing samples,\u003cem\u003eReading Time\u003c\/em\u003eadvocates for educators to:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvide opportunities for students to develop long-term relationships with teachers and administrators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eAllow children and parents to share their stories to identify obstacles that students encounter as they move through school.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eCollaborate and learn from students’ former teachers, as well as inform their future teachers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelop portfolio systems and longitudinal records that highlight children’s emerging interests, abilities, and potential for the future.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatherine Compton-Lilly\u003c\/strong\u003eis an associate professor in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
