Author: Elley, Warwick B.
Subject:  Reading|Research|New Zealand
Volume: Directions: Journal of Educational Studies no.30, vol.16, no.1, 1994
Collation: p. 20-30 ;

Abstract: The author provides a contribution on the importance of books in developing literacy in his review of the major International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement’s – instigated Reading – Literacy Survey of the early 1990s in New Zealand. He focuses on the IEA findings and how they bear on the whole language reading approach in New Zealand. He identifies areas of strength and weakness, and develops some ideas on where to put the emphasis in future. When put alongside the growing body of data about the effectiveness of shared reading, story reading, and SSR – he finds no good reason to change direction. Most of the findings confirm New Zealand teachers’ beliefs in whole language principles.
