Reading Education and Poverty: Questioning the Reading Success Equation.
Overview & Synopsis
Most arguments about literacy education in the United States are predicated on the idea that learning to read will prevent or overcome poverty. This article places the literacy success equation within some historical and political contexts, presents a critical policy analysis of conservative, neo-conservative, neo-liberal, and liberal views, and offers an alternative goal for literacy education.
