Description
Understanding Literacy & Disadvantage by Debra Myhill, Annabel Watson, Ruth Newman and Clare Dowdall provides practical strategies for teaching literacy in schools. Research has shown a strong association between social disadvantage and achievement in literacy, yet many teachers feel ill-equipped to address this issue. This book supports trainee teachers in exploring the complex relationships between literacy achievement and social background. It offers guidance on creating rich literacy environments and valuing children's individual backgrounds. By challenging deficit descriptions of disadvantaged children and low expectations, schools can provide a more inclusive learning environment. By reading this book, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how to support all students in developing their literacy skills.
