Review of The Literacy Dictionary
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Three years ago, as a new reading teacher, I would be at many training meetings where there were many literacy terms being thrown around at will. Not wanting to appear uninformed,I hesitated to ask colleagues what the new "buzz words" meant. It wasn't until my college professor held up her copy of The Literacy Dictionary in class one day and referred to it as a necessary tool that I decided, "If it's good enough for her, then I definitely need to invest in this book." I was not disappointed. It was my greatest tool as I used it to prepare for certification as a reading specialist. I often refer to The Literacy Dictionary when I am preparing to facilitate professional development workshops. I recently gave this dictionary to a colleague who, like me, was wondering how to keep up with all the jargon tossed back and forth in her professional meetings. I recommend this book to anyone trying to keep in step with the language of reading and writing.
