Past and Present of the Verbs to Read and to Write

"Emilia Ferreiro is one of the great thinkers in the Americas on the issues surrounding literacy. Three of her most important lectures are presented in this book. Her views have changed the systems of education in her own country, Mexico, and have had a radical impact on education in Brazil, where she is the recipient of the country's highest distinction. Her ideas have ideological and political implications for policies regarding publishing (including the publishing of textbooks), access to books and the development of readers all over the world." "Although poor countries have not overcome illiteracy, rich countries are finding that a basic education does not guarantee fully functional readers. While some of us are fluent in the language of hypertext, e-mail and the virtual pages of non-existent books, there are others who have not mastered newspapers or books." "If democracy is incompatible with an illiterate citizenry, full democracy requires an ability to read that goes beyond the deciphering of words. This ability is the right of children who will grow up as free citizens in a world where linguistic and cultural diversity are as important as biodiversity."--BOOK JACKET.

  • Publisher: Springer

Approaches and methods in comparative education are of obvious importance, but do not always receive adequate attention. This second edition of a well-received book, containing thoroughly updated and additional material, contributes new insights within the longstanding traditions of the field. A particular feature is the focus on different units of analysis. Individual chapters compare places, systems, times, cultures, values, policies, curricula and other units. These chapters are contextualised within broader analytical frameworks which identify the purposes and strengths of the field. The book includes a focus on intra-national as well as cross-national comparisons, and highlights the value of approaching themes from different angles. As already demonstrated by the first edition of the book, the work will be of great value not only to producers of comparative education research but also to users who wish to understand more thoroughly the parameters and value of the field.

Dyslexia is a common diagnosable condition that is estimated to affect at least one child in ten. In its most usual form it is manifested as a difficulty in learning to read and write, but it is widely misunderstood and often mistaken for low intelligence or even laziness. Dr Beve Hornsby combines her experience as a psychologist, teacher and speech therapist in this informative and reassuring book for parents and teachers of children suffering from a disability no-one can see or understand, and offers advice on how to identify, tackle and eventually overcome dyslexia. Includes up-to-date information on Attention Deficit Disorder and the relevance of the latest Education Act.
