Produktbeschreibung

Written by two of the foremost scholars on the language and literacy skills of African American school aged kids, the goal of the book is to highlight and synthesize their contributions to this body of knowledge. For speech pathologists, teachers, scholars, and researchers specializing in the area of African American English or language differences versus language disorders in child literacy/language development; and for researchers or graduate students in literary, dialect, or language disorders in schools of education or communication disorders. Might find appeal in seminars in American dialect and in AAE in particular.
