ISBN: 0807741892 ISBN-13: 9780807741894 Publisher: Teachers College Press OUR PRICE: $26.55 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: December 2001 Annotation: This timely book uses research on literacy outside of school to challenge how we think about literacy inside of school. Bringing together highly respected literacy researchers, this volume bridges the divide in the literature between formal education and the many informal settings -- homes, community organizations, after-school programs, etc. -- in which literacy learning flourishes. To help link research findings with teaching practices, each chapter includes a response from classroom teachers (K-12) and literacy educators. This book's unique blending of perspectives will have a profound effect on how literacy will be taught in school. |
