Abstract:

This book provides a synopsis of recently published empirical research into
the acquisition of reading and writing in Arabic. Its particular focus is on
the interplay between the linguistic and orthographic structure of Arabic
and
the development of reading and writing/spelling. In addition, the book
addresses the socio-cultural, political, and educational milieu in which
Arabic literacy is embedded. It enables readers to appreciate both the
implications of empirical research to literacy enhancement, and the
challenges
and limitations to the applicability of such insights in the Arabic language
and literacy context. The book will advance the understanding of the full
context of literacy acquisition in Arabic with the very many factors
(religious, historical, linguistic, etc.) that interact, and will, hence,
contribute to weakening the anglocentricity that dominates discussions of
this
topic.
