Meeting Difficulties in Literacy Development - Research, Policy and Practice (Paperback)

This timely and thought-provoking book addresses the sensitive issue of difficulties in literacy development. The authors begin by exploring different conceptualisations of literacy and their implications in terms of addressing the barriers to literacy acquisition. They then go on to discuss practical strategies and programmes to help reduce these barriers at school, family and community level. Throughout, the authors relate cognitive, psychological, and socio-cultural perspectives to current curriculum policies, controversies and ethical considerations.
This book enables practitioners to reflect critically upon the choices available to them in assessing and supporting students who experience difficulties in literacy development. It will be essential reading for students on initial teacher training courses, and teachers on CPD courses in the area of special needs, literacy and dyslexia.
