Review of 'Reading for their life' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

There's gems in here worth unpacking -- Dr. Tatum pushes hard against delimiting anti-intellectual perspectives of black boys and argues for intellectually stimulating, relevant, and content-rich text mediation. Can't wait to read his newest book on advanced literacies -- Tatum puts a stake in the ground and manages to balance both a focus on intensive scaffolding and supports while at the same time advancing intellect and knowledge.
