| book description |

Addressing literacy and disadvantage requires high-quality teaching, first and foremost:Â Â there are no quick fixes, simplistic solutions or silver bullets. Both research and professional evidence from schools have revealed a strong association between social disadvantage and achievement in literacy: in fact, it has been a concern for over 70 years. Yet, many trainee teachers, and teachers in general, feel ill-equipped to deal with the issue.Â Â This book supports trainee teachers to explore the complex relationships between literacy achievement and social background.Â It offers practical strategies for teaching andÂ supports trainee teachers to understand that: *childrenâ€™s individual backgrounds need to be valued and drawn upon; *deficit descriptions of disadvantaged children and low expectations must be avoided and challenged; *schools, teachers and classrooms must provider rich literacy environments for learning.
