  • reading buddies,
  • urban literature
  • developing a writing workshop
  • establishing a school library
Industry Reviews
Written by professionals with experience working with incarcerated people, this resource is for educators and librarians who engage youth and adults ‘behind the fence’ in the English language arts…. The foreword and preface present a well-documented overview that connects poor literacy skills to incarceration. The editors introduce their text with a strong rationale that explains the literary deficits and unique needs of the incarcerated…. Well-written, insightful, timely, applicable across place and audience, this book is a fantastic resource for librarians and teachers working with incarcerated populations. These lessons are easily adaptable to an urban, general education setting and may improve the literacy skills of those at risk.
