This volume highlights the shortcomings concerning literacy development in Africa and collates the current available literature based on empirical research in various countries in a coherent manner. Further emphasized is how the current research can guide practical information to improve the literacy situation in Africa. The research studies will encompass various fields such as linguistics, neurosciences, and education and will provide future research directions and instructional recommendations to improve the literacy situation in Africa.
“This handbook is a valuable collection of papers highlighting the complexities of tackling the problem of improving basic literacy skills in the area that on a global scale arguably needs it most. ... this volume is likely to serve as a milestone and key resource in the literature on literacy in Africa for many years to come, and is a welcome addition to any Africanist bookshelf for researchers, policy makers, linguists, teachers, literacy workers and orthography developers alike.” (Matthew Harley, Linguistique et Langues Africaines, Vol, 10 (2), 2024)
