More about the book
Exploring the complexities of literacy, this book integrates psychological, linguistic, and social perspectives. It establishes a sociolinguistic framework, examining the interplay between written and spoken language, particularly in the context of English spelling. The author highlights the influence of social, educational, and technological factors on literacy, while also addressing deprivation theory as a potential explanation for educational challenges. A key focus is the critical role of teachers' attitudes toward children's language in understanding reading failure.
