Literacy is arguably the most important goal of schooling as, to a
large extent, it determines young children's educational and life
chances and is fundamental in achieving social justice. New
Zealand's literacy education programme has long been regarded as
one of the world's most successful approaches to teaching literacy
skills to young children. Excellence and Equity in Literacy
Education questions this widely held assumption. In the late 1990s
the New Zealand government developed a national literacy strategy
aimed at reducing persistently large inequities in literacy
achievement outcomes. The chapters in this edited volume present
evidence indicating that the national literacy strategy has failed,
examine the major factors responsible for the continuation of New
Zealand's comparatively wide spread of scores in literacy
achievement, and describe the most effective strategies for
reducing the literacy achievement gap and achieving excellence and
equity in New Zealand literacy education.
