Black English and the Task of Reading
Harber, Jean R.; Bryen, Diane N.
Review of Educational Research, 46, 3, 387-405, Sum 76
This literature review provides evidence of dialect interference in black children's performance on oral reading, but large gaps exist in knowledge about Black English and the task of reading. The evidence of dialect interference in reading is equivocal at present, and the educational alternatives considered here are seen as premature. (RC)
