Cover of Gunther Kress: Early Spelling (PDF)

In his latest book, Gunther Kress explores how children learn to spell in the context of current concerns about early literacy. Using numerous examples of children’s writing and drawing, Kress looks at children as ‘makers of meaning’ and explores their earliest ventures into writing.Kress covers problems such as dyslexia within today’s educational system. Technological aids on spelling and writing such as spell-checkers and the effects of the increasing visualization of communication (computer, TV, film) are also discussed.
