Abstract	This volume reports the findings of the National Literacy Panel on Language-Minority Children and Youth. The formal charge to the panel - a distinguished group of expert researchers in reading, language, bilingualism, research methods, and education - was to identify, assess, and synthesize research on the education of language-minority children and youth with respect to their attainment of literacy. ... The authors review the state of knowledge on the development of literacy in language-minority children and youth, organized around five specific themes: 1. Development of literacy in second-language learners; 2. Cross-linguistic relationships in second-language learners; 3. Sociocultural contexts and literacy development; 4. Educating language-minority students: Instruction and professional development; and 5. Student assessment. Each part begins with a synthesis chapter that spells out the research questions for the chapters in that part, provides background information, describes the methodology used, summarizes the empirical findings reported, addresses methodological issues, and makes recommendations for future research. The following chapters provide more detail on the individual studies reviewed for specific research questions. The volume includes two opening chapters, "Introduction and Methodology" and "Demographic Overview"; a closing chapter that summarizes the report, identifies cross-cutting themes, and makes recommendations for future research. A CD-ROM provides a searchable database of research references. (DIPF/Orig.).
