The Literacy Dictionary: The Vocabulary of Reading and Writing

by Theodore Lester Harris, Richard E. Hodges

Drawing on input from hundreds of members of the reading profession and related disciplines, The Literacy Dictionary defines reading and literacy-related terms along with 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 certain controversial words and phrases are discussed in essays by professional leaders. University students and faculty, scholars who conduct at least part of their professional lives in English, classroom teachers, reading specialists, and administrators will find The Literacy Dictionary a necessary addition to their bookshelves.
