Simpkins, Holt & Simpkins (1977) developed a comprehensive set of dialect readers, called bridge readers, which included the same content in three different dialects: AAVE, a "bridge" version that was closer to "Standard American English" without being prohibitively formal, and a Standard English version.
Simpkins, Holt & Simpkins (1977)开发了一种更全面的方言阅读模式，称为桥梁阅读（bridge readers），对于同一内容使用三种方言撰写：非洲裔美国人白话英语，一个接近标准美国英语但又不太正式的“桥梁”语言，以及标准英语。
