About this title

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.
