LITERACY TEACHING AND EDUCATION FOUR-VOLUME SET
Edited by Dominic Wyse, Institute of Education, University of London, U.K.
Dominic Wyse, a leading scholar in literacy, curriculum and pedagogy, has distilled the signifi cant body of knowledge
in this vital area of research, policy and practice into a four-volume collection. A feature that unifi es this major work
is the idea of contextualized teaching shown by research to be most effective. Volume One addresses the foundations
of literacy, particularly the place of language and its links with literacy. Volume Two focuses on the teaching of reading.
It includes refl ection on the vital importance of texts and text-books, for example by drawing on children's literature
research. It also focuses on reading at word-level including the teaching of the alphabetic code. Volume Three
concentrates on effective teaching of writing, particularly essential features of the process of writing, including IT and
multimedia. Volume Four interrogates international and global thinking in relation to educational policy for language,
literacy, curriculum and pedagogy. It is through effective policy that research on the most effective teaching methods
can powerfully infl uence practice.
