Life, Literacy, and the Pursuit of Happiness Supporting Our Immigrant and Refugee Children Through the Power of Reading

Life, Literacy, and the Pursuit of Happiness is the first professional title dedicated to addressing a school’s reading culture with a focus on the needs of immigrant and refugee students and families—including learning their target language, English.

Dr. Vu presents the research-informed six conditions of culture—Commitment, Collection, Clock, Conversation, Connection, and Celebration—that create a school environment where immigrant and refugee students can thrive. Additionally, Dr. Vu provides practical strategies that most effectively support students who are new to this country.
