The recurring literacy crises in England and English speaking countries such as the US and New Zealand are linked to wider issues of educational standards, concepts of teacher professionalism, debates over curriculum content and the whole purpose of schooling, in order for us to obtain a deeper understanding of specific national contexts and the political pressures involved. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors' comparative approach enables them to uniquely demonstrate how literacy crises in one country can actually stimulate and shape literacy crises in another, as well as illustrating that these crises frequently share common features across time and geographical boundaries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than championing any 'one best' method of teaching reading, central questions are addressed and discussed, which will make this ground-breaking book essential reading for policy makers, teachers and students in literacy and education studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Soler,Roger Openshaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415336767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415336765\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.16w x 0.70d","brand":"Janet Soler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064898793727,"sku":"9780415336765","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e24d47ab-9d65-4353-87c7-20da52ef2d64.jpg?v=1768671781","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/literacy-crises-and-reading-policies-janet-soler-9780415336765","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
