Abstract	Studies have found that many teachers are not successful with African American students. This study grew out of the need to explore and learn from insights and knowledge of effective Title I White Reading teachers and their personal experiences, beliefs, and instructional practices. These experiences have helped the teachers bridge cultural barriers with African American students. Examples of such experiences are early educational experiences; college education and experiences which prepared them to teach culturally different students; and professional development experiences. Data collection techniques involved six interviews, which were open-ended with guided questions. The study revealed the following findings: the teachers shared many beliefs about literacy teaching and learning; and there were similarities in the teachers' goals and motivation of their African American students.
