This timely 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 organisations, after-school programs, etc. in which literacy learning flourishes. To help link research findings with teaching practices, each chapter includes a response from classroom teachers (K12) and literacy educators. This books unique blending of perspectives will have a profound effect on how literacy will be taught in school.
