The international group of experts, within both teaching and academia, focuses on reading in school: how is it taught? What is taught? How is it assessed? Controversial issues are explored: the acquisition of phonics; teaching the canon, including or ignoring digital texts; the advent of standards-based tests. The contributions also consider people’s biographies of reading, their memories of reading in school and their current views on literature. Together, this well-edited volume provides a more complete view of reading than is currently on offer, exploring all aspects of what it means to be literate and how we define being literate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54226337005912,"sku":"9781350244597","price":52.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350244597_fccd4824-e9a2-4be1-b8ac-de3844ed21e8.jpg?v=1770278457","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/bloomsbury-handbook-of-reading-perspectives-and-practices","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
