Based on current research, debates and concerns, this Reader 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.
This book gives my learners some of the underpinning knowledge needed when working with and supporting learners with Dyslexia in their learning environment. I highly recommend this as part of our booklist for the level 5 literacy subject specialism -- Miss Brenda Campbell * drupal *
This text will be recommended for use across at least 2 modules for Teaching and Learning Support. The strategies included will certainly support students to relate theory to practice. The style of the content is easy to navigate for both BA and Foundation Degree Students. -- Mr Deb Hewitt * drupal *
excellent book -- Mrs Amanda Kelland * drupal *
Approaching Difficulties in Literacy Development, Felicity Fletcher-Campbell
Understanding Difficulties in Literacy Development, Janet Soler
Both these books provide an excellent breadth and depth of relevant information to support my course.
-- Mrs Irene Scott * drupal *
Not suitable -- Mrs Jacqui Mason * drupal *
Recommended text for 2nd Year Foundation degree students. Use for those undertaking action research projects in area of literacy -- Mrs Janey Burrow * drupal *
A useful text to provide recommended reading to support studies -- Mrs Julia Stewart * drupal *
Interesting and useful book. I will refer to parts of it but the book as a whole is too specialised for the students I am working with at present. I will recommend to colleagues teaching on other courses, particularly masters. -- Mrs Madeleine Graf * drupal *
