Book excerpt: The conception of literacy is changing to reflect the profound economic, social, political and cultural changes of the past half century. In this report, the authors examine three broad literacy ideologies - cognitive, individual-based model, economics-driven model, and sociocultural model. While current research situates literacy in social practice, government policy aligns more with the cognitive and economics-driven models of literacy. The authors find the need for a new national literacy policy which is flexible and accommodates current and future literacies, and supports community capacity-building. They also find at practitioner level that all are teachers of literacy and need to be able to recognise and teach all of the different literacies needed by learners. The report also highlights implications for literacy testing. The report includes an overview (part 1) and discussion paper (part 2). The following are appended: (1) A table on Differing Conceptions of Literacy; and (2) A list of consultants who responded to a short survey and the questions asked for the survey. (Contains 1 table.).

Book excerpt: Noting that early reading achievement is increasingly being named as a top priority in venues ranging from national policy arenas to local schools and school districts, this book consolidates and summarizes research on early reading achievement, making it accessible to parents, teachers, administrators, and others concerned with children's reading success. The six essays in the book represent a joint effort of seven literacy educators who are committed to the improvement of children's literacy skills, and who represent a number of Michigan organizations and institutions that have a long history of successful collaboration. After a preface and introduction, the essays are: (1) "Toward a More Complex View of Balance in the Literacy Curriculum" (P. David Pearson and Taffy E. Raphael); (2) "Every Child a Reader: At Work in a First-Grade Classroom" (Elfrieda H. Hiebert); (3) "Diversity in a Democratic Society: Implications for Literacy Instruction" (Barbara J. Diamond); (4) "School-Family Connections: Why Are They So Difficult To Create?" (Patricia A. Edwards); (5) "A Michigan Early Literacy Parent/Teacher Collaboration" (Deanna Birdyshaw); and (6) "A Balanced Early Literacy Curriculum: An Ecological Perspective" (W. Dorsey Hammond). (Each chapter contains references.) (RS)
