Within the theme of literacy for all in regular classes, education researchers and practitioners examine theories and key principles of literacy education, and policies and practices in several countries where mainstream teachers provide inclusive literacy education. They cover literacy inclusion and access to the curriculum: international insights, and improving student literacy with vulnerable cohorts. Among their topics are examining the literacy within numeracy to provide access to the curriculum for all, leadership approaches to inclusive education: learning from an Irish longitudinal study, developing inclusive literacy practices in South African schools, encouraging literacy through inclusive science investigations: how a sense of wonder can cater for diversity, and inclusive literacy for students from other language backgrounds.
