O knihe

Education professionals interested in understanding student writing will want to
read this book. It describes "Generous Reading," a novel method of approaching
the writing of culturally and linguistically diverse students. This book addresses
the increasing diversity present throughout schools across the U.S. and in other
countries.
Drawing from current research and theory in linguistics and composition,
Spence has developed a way for teachers to tap into the cultural worlds of
students and draw upon their linguistic understandings in order to help them
improve their writing. The book is based on research projects conducted in the
southwest and southeast regions of the United States. The chapters on language
variation, culturally relevant instruction, and language transfer will also be of
interest to writing teachers.
Spence has presented the Generous Reading method across the nation and internationally where audiences have
been eager to try out the methods in their classrooms with students of all ages. University professors have used
Generous Reading in teacher education courses. This methodology has potential to change teachers' perspectives
on student writing and illuminate writing strengths previously overlooked.
