Bodley Head

Literacy is at the heart of all social concerns. Not only in childhood, in education, in Britain, but everywhere in the modern world of signs, print and information, literacy is linked to changes, especially in all forms of communication. So what are children to learn about reading and writing? What counts as literacy now, and what will it be like in the lives of those who leave school in the next century? In this book Margaret Meek shows how young learners become strong, confident readers if they discover early what reading and writing are good for, as powerful ways of learning and 'being in the know.' Literacy will change, but it is still the entitlement of everyone.

On Being Literate

How children learn to read well and what kind of teaching helps them is a scarcely penetrated mystery. This book is a fascinating and informative research report by a group of teachers who set out to teach children who have failed to acquire a useful degree of literacy; in it they discuss their experiences. The authors are presenting evidence about a central and constant problem in education, an essential kind of evidence which is often ignored, because it is so difficult to collect and present. The report presents enough case-notes and recordings of lessons and discussions to allow readers to make their own interpretations alongside those of the writers. Highly informative about many of the central topics of teaching literacy it discusses children’s motivation, the influence of social and cultural background on learning, and different methods of teaching reading.

The new Lennox Kemp mystery Although now happily married and a doting father, Lennox Kemp is still unable to resist the lure of a mystery. Going through the affairs of the late Dr Ayres, his curiosity is aroused by a cache of letters and diaries referring to a twenty-year-old murder case which { because of the untimely death of the chief suspect { never came to trial. At the same time, and in apparently unconnected circumstances, Kemp is re-introduced at a dinner party to one Lettice Warrender; an old flame of sorts, and scion of a well-known local family. As Kemp pursues his independent inquiries into the horrible murder of little Rickie Fenwick, very much against the better judgement of his wife Mary, he is caught up matters far removed { and far more deadly { than the bread-and-butter of the average provincial solicitor . . .
