In the era of No Child Left Behind, what literacy research is still needed? How should it be conducted? And what role does research play in determining the kinds of literacy experiences that actually take place in classrooms? This forward-thinking book brings together leading authorities to address these vital and hotly debated questions. Contributors analyze the existing knowledge on core aspects of literacy education, describe how science is currently informing practice, and identify important methodological challenges and research directions. A highlight of the book is a chapter in which Michael Pressley offers an insightful critique of Reading First as well as practical recommendations for improving future policies.

Literacy is a prerequisite for participation in many areas of life in modern societies. Yet, many adult migrants have had no, or only limited, opportunity to become literate in any language. They therefore face the added challenge of becoming literate at the same time as they are learning a new language. This book brings together research by authors from different regions of the world who have studied the acquisition processes of adult migrants learning to read and write in a new language. The collection includes ethnographic investigations of everyday language and literacy practices, classroom studies on the effectiveness of teaching practices, and research on high-stakes testing and formative multilingual assessment methods.
