Boys and Literacy Learning

Résumé du livre

The debate over boys and literacy continues to rage as figures showing poor literacy results for boys in relation to girls are quoted regularly, particularly in the media. In this book, the authors challenge theories of literacy learning that over- simplify the statistics into stereotypes about boys and girls. By adopting a socially critical approach to the ways that boys learn to become literate, the book shows how boys, and all children, can be encouraged in their literacy learning from the earliest years.
