spending time with the older couple as harmless as they seem?
Despite the efforts of teachers and educators, every year secondary
schools across the English-speaking world turn out millions of
functionally illiterate leavers. The costs in human misery and in
wasted productivity are catastrophic. What can schools do to
prevent this situation? In this highly accessible book James and
Dianne Murphy combine more than 50 years of experience to provide
teachers with a thorough, easy to use introduction to the extensive
research on reading and its effects on student achievement. Drawing
on the work of experts from around the world, the authors explore
how we learn to read, how the many myths and misconceptions around
reading developed, and why they continue to persist.Building on
these foundations chapters go on to examine how the general
secondary school classroom can support all levels of reading more
effectively, regardless of subject; how school leaders can ensure
that their systems, practices and school culture deliver the very
best literacy provision for all students; and what it takes to
ensure that a racing intervention aimed at adolescent struggling
readers is truly effective. The overall message of this books is
one of great optimism: the authors demonstrate that the right of
every child to learn to read is entirely achievable if schools
employ the best research-driven practice.

This book examines the language of public inquiries to reveal how
blame is assigned, avoided, negotiated and discussed in this
quasi-legal setting. In doing so, the author adds a much-needed
linguistic perspective to the study of blame - previously the
reserve of moral philosophers, sociologists and psychologists - at
a time when public inquiries are being convened with increasing
frequency. While the stated purpose of a public inquiry is rarely
to apportion blame, this work reveals how blame is nevertheless
woven into the fabric of the activity and how it is constructed by
the language of the participants. Its chapters systematically
analyse the establishment of inquiries, their questioning patterns,
how blame can be avoided by witnesses, how blame is assigned or not
by an inquiry's panel and how such blame may result in public
apologies. The author concludes with an engaging discussion on the
value of public inquiries in civic life and suggestions for changes
to the processes of public inquiries. This book will appeal to
readers with a general interest in public and political language;
in addition to scholars across the disciplines of communication,
media studies, politics, sociology, social policy, philosophy,
psychology, linguistics, rhetoric, public relations and public
affairs.
The late 19th and early 20th century was a key period of cultural
transition in Ireland. Fiction was used in a plainly partisan or
polemical fashion to advance changes in Irish society. Murphy
explores the outlook of certain important social classes during
this time frame through an assessment of Irish Catholic fiction.
This highly original study provides a new context for understanding
the works of canonical authors such as Joyce and George Moore by
