While the impacts of poverty on academic achievement are widely known, dialect also plays a significant and unrecognized role in the reading achievement of millions of children. Just like students whose native language is Spanish or Amharic, students who speak the dialect known as African-American English (AAE) face obstacles to becoming proficient readers.
Watch this on-demand webinar with Dr. Julie A. Washington to learn:
- Characteristics of AAE
- Impact of poverty on language
- Relationship of dialect to growth of reading
- Variables that influence reading outcomes for poor children
