SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:"Talk: “Reflections on an African American Children’s Literature Family Literacy Program” by Jonda McNair"
DESCRIPTION:"\rPart of the CAS/MillerComm Lecture Series\r\rProfessor McNair will present findings from her long-term literacy program that involved African American children’s literature and 10 African American families with children in grades K-2. The goal was to determine how the families’ social practices changed as a result of participating in the project, which included a collaboration between a major public university, a local church, an African American sorority, and Call Me MISTER participants.\r\rThe families were exposed to an abundance of books written by and about African Americans through a series of workshops over a period of six months. The program ended with a presentation by James E. Ransome, an award-winning illustrator. Professor McNair will draw from her extensive data sources including pre- and post- interviews with parents, reading logs, and children’s drawings and written responses.\r\rThe CAS/MillerComm public events series brings to campus people who offer unique cross-disciplinary contributions to the intellectual and cultural life of the university.\r\rThis Center for Advanced Study event is hosted by Curriculum and Instruction in conjunction with the Asian American Cultural Center, Center for Children’s Books, College of Education, Department of African American Studies, Department of Educational Policy, Organization and Leadership, Department of English, Department of Latina/Latino Studies, Department of Special Education, Gender & Women’s Studies, School of Information Sciences, Spurlock Museum, and the University Library.\r\rFor further information, visit the Center for Advanced Study at cas.illinois.edu or call (217) 333-6729\r"
