Literacy Dictionary

University students and faculty, scholars, classroom teachers, reading specialists, and administrators will find this book a necessary addition to their bookshelves. Drawing from input from hundreds of members of the reading profession and related disciplines, The Literacy Dictionary defines reading and literacy-related terms, as well as vocabulary from other areas that contribute to the study of reading. Definitions represent both technical and non-technical perspectives on vocabulary used in the classroom and in the research arena. Selected terms include citations for further illustration, and leading professionals address certain controversial words and phrases.
