Girls, Social Class, and Literacy: What Teachers Can Do to Make a Difference
"Using stories from her own life as a girl in a working-poor  family and illuminating narratives from students living in a high-poverty  neighborhood, Stephanie introduces readers to critical literacy and equips  them with the tools to begin tearing apart stereotypes and creating new  understandings about students, families, ourselves, and one another. This  remarkable book is at once powerful and poetic, provocative and  informative."- Lucy Calkins, Teachers College, Columbia University"Be prepared to have your heart examined, perhaps bruised, and ultimately  strengthened for the social action that is the reason Stephanie teaches and  writes - and the reason every educator must read this book."- Jo Beth Allen, University of Georgia"A must-read for teacher study groups preparing to tackle the impact of  poverty on elementary education."-Barbara Comber, University of South Australia
