Literacy is of profound importance for individual learning, achievement and personal pleasure. It is also, of course, critical for our national economic well-being.

The Director of the National Literacy Trust has compiled this timely book as a platform for many of the United Kingdom's leading academics and major organisations in literacy - from pre-school to adult - to put their case to the government.

All the major agencies are represented - including the Basic Skills Agency, British Dyslexia Association, British Film Institute, Centre for Learning in Primary Education, National Association for the Teaching of English, the Library Association and the United Kingdom Reading Association. Contributors include Michael Barber, Henrietta Dombey, Peter Hannon, Jane Mace, David Wray.

Published by the National Literacy Trust in collaboration with Trentham Books.
