Very good book.

This is the reader for the EWRT200 classes I'm teaching. So far, it seems pretty well received. We read "Superman and Me" by Sherman Alexie first, which prompted some great discussions of how the students first got interested in reading and learned to read. Now we're taking a look at Amy Tan's "Mother Tongue" which I always love to teach because it's funny and eye-opening at the same time.
