" Issues and concepts in public reading debates
" Literacy curriculum policy contexts
" Community, family, society and individual identity
" Social justice and equity issues and learning disabilities
This Reader is relevant to all postgraduate students of Literacy, as well as educators, professionals and policy makers.
