This popular text examines literacy from a multidimensional and
interdisciplinary perspective. It "unpackages" the various
dimensions of literacy--linguistic, cognitive, sociocultural,
and developmental--and at the same time accounts for the
interrelationships among them. The goal is to provide a
conceptual foundation upon which literacy curriculum and
instruction in school settings can be grounded.
