Children's Literacy Practices And Preferences by Jane Sunderland, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Over the past few decades there have been intense debates in education surrounding children's literacy achievement and ways to promote reading, particularly that of boys. TheHarry Potterbook series has been received enthusiastically by very many children, boys and girls alike, but has also been constructed in popular and media discourses as a children's, particularly a boys', literacy saviour. Children's Literacy Practices and Preferences: Harry Potter and Beyondprovides empirical evidence of young people's reported literacy practices and views on reading, and of how they see how theHarry Potterseries as having impacted their own literacy. The volume explores and debunks some of the myths surroundingHarry Potterand literacy, and contextualizes these within children's wider reading. | Children's Literacy Practices And Preferences by Jane Sunderland, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
