Teaching Reading to American Indian/Alaska Native Students. ERIC Digest

Link: http://www.ael.org/eric/digests/edorc01-10.htm.

This digest summarizes ways to help young American Indian and Alaska Native children become fluent readers. There are numerous reading intervention programs, each with its own set of claims and counter-claims. Phonics approaches are designed for standard English speakers, and students with limited English abilities end up parroting what they read without comprehension.
