Description
In this chapter, we discuss key issues for teaching and learning literacy. In what follows we provide a record of a recent discussion we had about learning literacy. We considered what we know about the implications of digital and print tools and ways of working in schools. We move on to discuss curriculum, assessment and pedagogy in our current policy context, and the need for children to know how to engage with literacy as a collaborative practice. As a social justice issue we believe that all of our discussions about literacy must consider not just schools but also issues related to communities, homes and families. We hope that this discussion between long-term colleagues provides a framing to open up the field and raise questions for chapters that follow.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
