Abstract

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.

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
