This book extends models of early literacy, analyzing how children’s reading and spelling skills develop throughout their school career.

  • An account of how a child’s reading and spelling develop which goes beyond the early years
  • Shows that there are radical changes in the way children read and spell as they get older
  • Describes a new theory about the learning that goes on in the later stages of reading and spelling
  • Makes clear the educational implications of this theory
  • The authors’ research has previously contributed to the ‘literacy hour’ – a government initiative to improve the teaching of literacy skills in UK schools
