Abstract:

Bringing together an international team of scholars, this pioneering
book presents the first truly systematic, cross-linguistic study of
variation in literacy development. It draws on a wide range of
cross-cultural research to shed light on the key factors that predict
global variation in children's acquisition of reading and writing
skills, covering regions as diverse as North and South America, Asia,
Australia, Europe and Africa. The first part of the volume deals with
comprehensive reviews related to the variation of literacy in
different regions of the globe as a function of socio-political,
sociocultural, and language and writing system factors. The second
part of the volume deals with comprehensive reviews related to the
variation of literacy in different world regions. Offering a
pioneering new framework for global literacy development, this
groundbreaking volume will remain a landmark in the fields of literacy
development and literacy teaching and learning for years to come.
