| Summary |
This book uses research on literacy outside of school to challenge how we think about literacy inside of school. Bringing together highly respected literacy researchers, this volume bridges the divide in the literature between formal education and the many informal settings-homes, community organizations, after-school programs, etc.-in which literacy learning flourishes. To help link findings with teaching practices, each chapter includes a response from classroom teachers (K-12) and literacy educators |
