Containing invaluable insights from the original director of the
National Literary Strategy (NLS) and its director of training, this
book provides the only systematic exploration of the reform
programme.
A vital introduction and critical appraisal for pracititioners
and students, The Literacy Game examines the origins, evolution and
impact of the NLS, and provides a fully comprehensive contribution
to the teaching of literacy and the management of educational
change.
This illuminating text:
- sets out the political background and context to literacy
education in England over a decade from 1996 to 2006
- explains and appraises the rationale and design underpinning
the NLS, thereby rebutting some of the folk-lore that has built up
around it
- provides an example of the principles and practices of
large-scale system change
- links the NLS to wider global research on system change and
educational reform
- evaluates the contribution of the NLS in advancing knowledge of
the literacy curriculum in English and the development of pedagogy
as a whole
- considers the impact and consequences of the NLS on standards
of literacy.
The Literacy Game is an enlightening book which will appeal to
all policy makers and academics who are keen to know what did and
did not work in the NLS and why.
