Black Communications and Learning to Read
Author: Terry Meier
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000149625
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
This book is about effective literacy instruction for students in grades K-4 who use the language variety that many linguists call African American English, but which, as explained in the Introduction, the author calls Black Communications (BC). Throughout, considerable attention is given to discussing the integral and complex interconnections among African American language, culture, and history, drawing significantly on examples from African American historical and literary sources. Although it is theoretical in its description of the BC system and its discussion of research on language socialization in African American communities, the major focus of this book is pedagogy. Many concrete examples of successful classroom practices are included so that teachers can readily visualize and use the strategies and principles presented. *Part I, ‘What is Black Communications?” presents an overview of the BC system, providing a basic introduction to the major components of the language—phonology, grammar, lexicon, and pragmatics, and illustrating how these components work in synchrony to create a coherent whole. *Part II, “Language Socialization in the African American Discourse Community,” examines existing research on African American children’s language socialization. *Part III, “Using African American Children’s Literature,” draws connections between strategy instruction and the linguistic and rhetorical abilities discussed in Part II. Each chapter ends with suggestions for using African American literature to help children develop their speaking and writing abilities. *Part IV, “Children Using Language,” moves from a focus on teaching comprehension strategies to helping BC speakers learn to decode text. This volume is directed to researchers, faculty, and graduate students in the fields of language and literacy education and linguistics, and is well-suited as a text for graduate-level courses in these areas.

Book Description
This book is a compilation of my learning’s that follow the journey of a child from the womb to adulthood. The book explores themes important to the development of children; factors from maternal health, parenting techniques, special needs, responses to crisis and other insights from the lens of an occupational therapist and clinical psychologist. My learning’s come directly from my practice, distilled into reflections during the COVID lockdown and ensuing year. It was during this time that I took to writing weekly articles to share my thoughts on how children were being impacted by the unprecedented experience of living through a pandemic. At the end of this period, this book came to be. The stories and insights in this book are colored by the fabric of Indian society, family structures and economic stratification that influences access, inclusion and therefore well-being outcomes of my patients.
