Nick Tucker - Böcker

An examination of literacy in relation to a wide range of new technology and media, especially talking books, email, video dating, interactive multimedia and on-line materials. In each case, the writers draw on state-of-the-art research to explain the implications for educational practice and policy. In the process, they show the need for "joined-up" thinking on the part of all those who provide education, guidance and resources for young people: a key feature of the book is its explanation of the key role of library provision as well as teaching.

Family Fictions provides an introduction to the history of family stories in children's literature and an in-depth critical study of the works of Jacqueline Wilson, Anne Fine and Morris Gleitzman.
