This collection investigates the efficacy, origins, and long-term implications of the National Literacy Strategy and the Framework for English within the British educational system. Edited by Andrew Goodwyn and Carol Fuller, the volume compiles contributions from various scholars to analyze how top-down policy mandates have influenced classroom practice, teacher autonomy, and the broader definition of literacy. The text argues that standardized frameworks often impose a restrictive 'informed prescription' that may conflict with the nuanced realities of teaching language and literature.
