Download or read book Literacy written by John Oxenham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1980. The skills of reading and writing have been proclaimed as universal human rights. This book explores why this should be so. In particular, it examines whether or not the possession of reading or writing skills has, or has not, influenced the values and organisation of society. Viewing literacy as a technology, the author maintains that like all technologies, it is created by man for limited purposes. Nevertheless, given the right conditions, it can be used by man to change not only other technologies, but also himself and (in the end) all of his society. But like other technologies, literacy too may be subject to obsolescence which poses the all-important question of whether the advent of universal literacy has coincided with the redundancy of the written word.

Book Synopsis The New Literacy by : John Willinsky
Download or read book The New Literacy written by John Willinsky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1990. This book examines the innovative programs that changed the way reading and writing was taught during the previous ten years. Both teacher and critic of the New Literacy programs, the author gives a perspective that allows educators, parents, and other readers to assess the promise of these programs. Examining the work of educators from the USA, UK and Canada, he compares programs from first grade to college that foster a new level of literate engagement and voice in students while creating a less authoritative place in which to learn. The book opens up wider debate about literacy in a society concerned with shifting authority from text and teacher to student.

Book Synopsis Reading to Learn by : Sheila Harri-Augstein
Download or read book Reading to Learn written by Sheila Harri-Augstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1982. This book is concerned with the new kinds of demands on our reading ability made by the work we undertake for A-level, or in college, or at university, or indeed at work. It is not a speed reading book, or a reading skills book. Anyone with a lot of reading to get through may not want to read all of it quickly. Some things can be skimmed through; others take a lot of reading. This book helps readers discriminate and gives techniques to assume responsibility for their own reading. The book takes the form of a reading workbook, and consists of a number of exercises together with an interleaving commentary, along with suggestions for further work. It can be used by the individual student, by students in groups or with a teacher, and as a sourcebook for courses in study skills.

Download or read book Learning to Read written by Hazel Francis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1982. This book charts the reading progress of ten children through their first three years at school, concentrating particularly on their problems and the ways they coped with them. The author uses these case studies to analyse the children's understanding, experience of behaviour associated with literacy, and developing knowledge of spelling in the early stages of learning to read. Her analysis of the children's difficulties and successes, against the background of their home experience, classroom activities and teachers' methods, calls in question any simplistic generalisations about the ways that background and teaching method can affect reading progress.

The book discusses the problems of studying children's use and development of language and in doing so looks at the implications of a number of theories.

Book Synopsis Literacy Across the Community by : Laurie A Henry
Download or read book Literacy Across the Community written by Laurie A Henry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores and evaluates community-based literacy programs, examining how they bridge gaps in literacy development, promote dialogue, and connect families, communities, and schools. Highlighting the diversity of existing literary initiatives across populations, this book brings together innovative and emerging scholarship on the relationship between P20 schools and community-based literacy programming. This volume not only identifies trends in research and practice, but it also addresses the challenges affecting these community-based programs and presents the best practices that emerge from them. Collaborating with leading scholars to provide national and international perspectives, and offering a clear, birds-eye view of the state of community literacy praxis, chapters cover programming in a multitude of settings and for a wide range of learners, from early childhood to incarcerated youths and adults, and including immigrants, refugees, and indigenous communities. Topics include identity and empowerment, language and literacy development across the lifespan, rural and urban environments, and partnership programs. The breadth of community literacy programming gathered in a single volume represents a unique array of models and topics, and has relevance for researchers, scholars, graduate students, pre-service educators, and community educators in literacy.

Book Synopsis Reading Home Cultures Through Books by : Kirsti Salmi-Niklander
Download or read book Reading Home Cultures Through Books written by Kirsti Salmi-Niklander and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-27 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging, comparative, and multidisciplinary collection addresses the significance of books in creating the idea of home. The chapters present cases that reveal the affective and sensory dimensions of books and reading in the practice of everyday life of individuals, in communities, and in society. The complex relationship of books, reading, and home is explored through American and European case studies both in bourgeois and middle-class homes, and in working-class and immigrant families and communities with limited possibilities for reading. The volume combines the conceptions and representations of domesticity, the materiality of reading, and library as a place, drawing on book history and material culture studies as well as anthropology and sociology of the home.
