Reviews

I strongly recommend this book as a timely and important contribution to contemporary issues and tensions on children's early literacy learning. The book provides insights into current debates on early literacy policies by showing the practices and social implications of diverse community resources raising issues of inequality in provisions of education from an early age. Ola Erstad, Professor in the Department of Education, University of Oslo, Norway.
