Reading Time: The Literature Lives of Urban Secondary Students and Their Families

Catherine Compton-Lilly

''The analysis here runs deeper than other contemporary critiques of accountability regimes and standardization, inviting us instead to consider how time, schooling, and literacy have always been co-constructed. . . . Reading Time features compelling examples of literacy practices that traverse generations, which could only be understood through interviews and observations extending over time.''
--Kevin Leander, Vanderbilt University
While 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.
