This book extends models of early literacy, analyzing how children’s reading and spelling skills develop throughout their school career.
- An account of how a child’s reading and spelling develop which goes beyond the early years
- Shows that there are radical changes in the way children read and spell as they get older
- Describes a new theory about the learning that goes on in the later stages of reading and spelling
- Makes clear the educational implications of this theory
- The authors’ research has previously contributed to the ‘literacy hour’ – a government initiative to improve the teaching of literacy skills in UK schools
