Literacy is at the heart of all social concerns. So what are children to learn about reading and writing? What counts as literacy now, and what will it be like in the lives of those who leave school in the next century? This book shows how young learners become strong, confident readers if they discover early what reading and writing are good for.

Suitable for those interested in how or why children learn to read, this title draws on the author's experience as a parent and teacher, and explains what happens when a child is taught to read and how parents or teachers can help when a child has reading problems. Each chapter deals with a different stage of learning.

An examination of personal development, maturation and rites of passage in children's literature, this title surveys the theme across a number of genres and analyses the work of key writers. It aims to answer the question "What is a classic?".
