Synopsis
Based on current research, debates and concerns, Understanding Difficulties in Literacy Development: Issues and Concepts adopts a cross disciplinary approach to understanding and working with those who experience difficulties with literacy. It provides a broad view of difficulties in literacy and related educational and curriculum learning issues across a range of ages, phases and settings.
The Reader first considers questions of literacy, before going on to look at literacy development in relation to:
- Issues and concepts in public reading debates
- Literacy curriculum policy contexts
- Community, family, society and individual identity
- Social justice and equity issues and learning disabilities
This Reader is relevant to all postgraduate students of Literacy, as well as educators, professionals and policy makers.
