comprehensive introduction to literacy teaching and learning. The
book explores the continuum of literacy learning and children's

classrooms and then to senior primary and beyond. Reader-friendly
and accessible, this book equips pre-service teachers with the
theoretical underpinnings and practical strategies to teach
literacy. It places the 'reading wars' firmly in the past as it
examines contemporary research and practices. The book covers
important topics such as assessment, multiliteracies, reading
difficulties and diverse classrooms. Each chapter includes learning
objectives, reflective questions and definitions of key terms to
engage and assist readers. Written by an expert author team and
featuring real-world examples from literacy teachers and learners,
the book will help pre-service teachers feel confident teaching
literacy to diverse age groups and abilities.

background, phonemic awareness, self-discovery of letter-sound
relations, the use of text structure for comprehension, and the
effects of contrasting teaching approaches. The student-friendly

questions to help the reader to reflect on the chapter contents and
to discuss the implications for teaching and learning.
