These essays take up notable gaps in all that has been said and written about literacy in the schools, moving beyond the idea that learning to read and write is an end in itself. They are about the power that reading and writing has over the world. These essays deal with what the young are to make of the world while reading in a postmodern era and how they respond to the way new technologies can narrow the gap between school and work worlds. Others confront the authorities, whether of dictionaries that would dictate meaning or of cultures that would shape identities. They also pursue the personal side of Willinskys own life in the language, tracking what has followed for him from this getting of literacy. The book is concerned, as a whole, with how we can become better students of literacys impact on our lives. It teaches us to attend to the promises and challenges, as well as the pleasures, that come after having taken a basic hold of languages literate possibilities."; Counterpoints - Studies in the Postmodern Theory of Education Series; Vol. 184; 6.3 X 0.62 X 9.06 inches; 296 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
