What Teachers need to know about Reading and writing Difficulties


The ability to read and write is fundamental to all areas of learning in the
school curriculum. Literacy skills determine not only school success but
also infl uence an individual’s chances of fi nding and retaining satisfying
work beyond school, achieving fi nancial stability, maintaining personal
autonomy and promoting self-esteem (American Federation of Teachers,
2007; OECD, 2008). It is not surprising therefore that alarm has been
expressed in recent years concerning the number of students who, for
a variety of reasons, fail to acquire adequate facility with reading and
writing.

This book explores some of the causes of literacy problems and provides
practical advice on methods that can support students with these diffi culties.
Many additional online resources are also identified.

As with other titles in the What teachers need to know series, I have drawn
extensively on research and professional literature from many countries,
particularly the United Kingdom, the United States of America and
Australia. Problems in literacy are of international concern. I hope that
the extensive reference list will be of value to teachers and others who may
wish to pursue some issues in greater depth.

The topic of spelling has been covered only briefl y in this volume
because a separate monograph (What teachers need to know about spelling)
deals with the topic in much greater detail.
