Through analysis of case studies of young children (ages 3 to 8
years), situated in different geographic, cultural, linguistic,
political, and socioeconomic sites on six continents, this book
examines the interplay of childhoods, schooling, and, literacies.
Written language is situated within particular childhoods as they
unfold in school. A key focus is on children's agency in the
construction of their own childhoods. The book generates diverse
perspectives on what written language may mean for childhoods.
Looking at variations in the complex relationships between official
(curricular) visions and unofficial (child-initiated) visions of
relevant composing practices and appropriate cultural resources, it
offers, first, insight into how those relationships may change over
time and space as children move through early schooling, and,
second, understanding of the dynamics of schools and the experience
of childhoods through which the local meaning of school literacy is
formulated. Each case-each child in a particular sociocultural
site-does not represent an essentialized nation or a people but,
rather, a rich, processual depiction of childhood being constructed
in particular local contexts and the role, if any, for composing.
