"Written ( . . .) for use in introducing students to the power of
literacy for personal, academic, and social growth, this book adds
a new layer of meaning to being strategically literate in today's
culturally diverse classrooms— places where youth must build
confidence in themselves as readers and learners in all walks of
life." — Donna Alvermann, professor of education, University
of Georgia, and past president, International Reading Association
"This book continues where Reading for Understanding left off: with the promise that kids can do what the world asks of them if they learn how to read the world and the words from which it is made." — Jim Burke, author, The Readers Handbook and English Teachers Companion
