Dimensions of Literacy: A Conceptual Base for Teaching Reading and Writing in School Settings, 4 edition




Dimensions of Literacy: A Conceptual Base for Teaching Reading and Writing in School Settings, 4 edition by Stephen B. Kucer


English | 2014 | ISBN: 0415826454, 0415826462 | 384 pages | PDF | 3,3 MB




This popular text, now in its fourth edition, “unpacks” the various dimensions of literacy―linguistic and other sign systems; cognitive; sociocultural; and developmental―and at the same time accounts for the interrelationships among them. Distinguished by its examination of literacy from a multidimensional and interdisciplinary perspective, it provides a strong conceptual foundation upon which literacy curriculum and instruction in school settings can be grounded.




Linking theory and research to practice in an understandable, user-friendly manner, the text provides in-depth coverage of the dimensions of literacy, includes demonstrations and “hands-on” activities, examines authentic reading and writing events that reflect key concepts, and summarizes the concepts in tables and figures.




Changes in the Fourth Edition


• Addresses academic language, new literacies/multiliteracies, and their relationship to literacy learning


• More fully develops the developmental dimension of literacy in separate chapters on adult mediation and learner construction


• Expands the discussion of multimodal literacies


• Extends and integrates the discussion of bilingualism and biliteracy throughout the text


• Integrates instructional implications more fully throughout
