Contextualising Difficulties in Literacy Development by Gavin Reid
Together with Addressing Difficulties in Literacy Development, this reader forms the basis of the Open University's Difficulties in Literacy Development course, and is ideal for similar courses nationally and internationally.'The editors' choices are excellent and the new chapters writtem for the volume add up to a coherent and thought-provoking book on vital issues in literacy.. In sum the book as a whole offers a powerful critique of the technicist model of literacy that dominates policy in this country ... It elaborates the principles and practices on which effective literacy learning for all can be built, and it is for this reason that I recommend it to all those interested in literacy education: teachers, teacher educators, literacy researchers, education psychologists and especially policy makers.' - Kathy Hall, British Journal of Educational Studies
'strongly recommended to both students and practitioners who are curious about how literacy reflects, and is reflected in, diverse aspects of social life.' - Lyn Layton, British Journal of Special Education, Vol31, 1, 2004
