註釋This book examines the historical and political debates which have surrounded the teaching of reading and shaped current classroom practice in New Zealand. These debates, and the contexts which forged them, are of interest to all teachers, parents and readers. The first section covers the historical and political background to literacy in New Zealand from 1900 to 1970, and beyond when literacy became a scientifically validated skill. This section also examines the ensuing absence of Maori language teaching and the rise and fall of phonics during this period. The second section examines the current practices and policies arising from these historical contexts. Chapter topics include issues surrounding the production of Maori text, the development of reading materials for schools, whole language versus phonics, the implementation of the new English syllabus, debates over the teaching of grammar, and the convening of the New Zealand Literacy Taskforce.
