Synopsis

An alarmingly high number of American students continue to lack proficiency in reading, maths and science. The various attempts to address this problem have all too often resulted in 'silver bullet' solutions such as reducing class sizes or implementing voucher programmes. But as the authors of this critically important book show, improving literacy also requires an understanding of complex and interrelated social issues that shape a child's learning. Here, Frederick Morrison, Heather Bachman and Carol McDonald Connor preesent the most up-to-date research on the diverse factors that relate to a child's literacy development, from preschool to early elementary school.
