The richness in every child's voice reaches out to be heard. Yet many underprivileged children's words are muffled, never to be acknowledged, destined only to become white noise beneath childhood-poverty statistics. You can do something about it.
When Poverty's Children Write addresses the unique challenges that teachers face when teaching disadvantaged children to write. Bobbie Solley begins by identifying the unique characteristics of oral language and print knowledge that poor children typically bring with them to school. Then she argues against a deficit-based approach, demonstrating instead strategies, activities, and classroom dynamics that capitalize on students' strengths and innate knowledge to build written-language skills.
Solley examines classroom rites and rituals and suggests techniques that foster a trustful, respectful, and collaborative environment that promotes active writing. She tells the stories of real children who come from impoverished homes, showing you in powerful examples how by celebrating every child's voice you encourage them toward literacy habits, and how by understanding the specific needs of poverty's children your teaching moves away from struggling with student deficits and toward supporting student success.
Read When Poverty's Children Write and loosen the grim grip of poverty from the voices of your students. Show them the hope that literacy can bring and then watch as joyful writing fills your classroom.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Goodbookscafe, Macon, Georgia, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
