The acquisition and maintenance of literacy is of pressing interest
and concern to educators and educational policy makers worldwide.
What are the common themes, the common questions, and the unique
circumstances and initiatives that spring from this interest and
concern? To address these questions, Understanding Literacy
Development: A Global View brings together leading experts from
around the world to explore ways to best provide teaching and
learning opportunities, tailored to specific educational needs, to
help all children become better readers. The premise is that
current generic "one-size-fits-all" approaches are inappropriate
for many children and can lead to underachievement and failure. The
contributors write from a stance that reflects not only their own
particular expertise and experience, but also sheds light on
literacy development across cultures, countries, and circumstances.
Taken together, chapters in this volume target a wide and
comprehensive set of literacy issues, and offer an extensive
exploration of the complexities of literacy development, including
issues related to early literacy, school instruction, family
literacy, adolescent and adult literacy, and teacher development.
At a time when education is burdened by increasing economic
pressure to do more with less, it is imperative that educators and
decision makers at all levels have access to current,
broad-ranging, and in-depth information and evidence to inform
their choices. This volume, compiling critical research on a wide
spectrum of literacy concerns, is an invaluable tool for scholars,
teacher educators, professionals and graduate students in the
fields of literacy education, early childhood education,
educational psychology, educational policy, and related areas.
