This volume demonstrates how the ethnographic approach to research
demanded by a 'Literacy as Social Practice' perspective can
generate fresh insights into what happens when young children
engage with schooled literacy tasks. Researching Early Childhood
Literacy in the Classroom argues that the lived experience of young
children encountering formal schooled literacy curricula should be
the foremost consideration in educational reforms intended to
improve rates of literacy acquisition in schools. To make this
argument, the author suspends traditional concerns with 'learning'
and 'progress' to concentrate on 'practice' and 'meaning' in a
careful analysis of key classroom incidents. The author concludes
that such insights suggest a need for re-considering the
assumptions upon which educational policy rests. This book will be
of great interest to graduate and postgraduate students,
researchers, academics, and libraries in the fields of Literacy
Studies, Teacher Education, Education Policy and Applied
Linguistics.
