In this volume, prominent scholars address educational and reading research from varied perspectives and discuss what it will take to close the achievement gap. Making a significant contribution to the field, the achievement gap is redefined as a level at which all groups can compete economically in our society and have the literacy tools and habits needed for a good life.
