English Learners: Reaching the Highest Level of English Literacy takes a
critical look at the literacy development of English learners through the eyes
of original theorists and current practitioners. These authors examine the
essential components of English language development and recommend
specific practices for successful implementation.

The collection proposes new ways of looking at practice in the context of what
is presently done for English learners, emphasizes the need to reexamine
current instructional practices, and suggests what can be done to change
them. The book also examines reading and English literacy instruction for
English learners in a political and educational context in which simultaneous
achievement of both English language acquisition and English language arts
is required. Finally, the book suggests the importance of students' cultural
roots and celebrates the variety of voices that English learners represent.
