Abstract | Despite the evidence that many of Australia's children are learning literacy in schools, our poorest and most disadvantaged children are still being left behind. To date, our understanding of the place of transitions in this has been limited, although there has been work on the fourth grade slump (Gee, 2000, 2008) which has followed children's move from early years' classrooms into the fourth or fifth grade; the transition from primary to secondary school (e.g. Bahr & Pendergast, 2007; Pendergast & Bahr, 2005, 2010), and transitions when changing schools (Henderson, 2008). In this chapter, we consider the notion of transitioning, as we unpack issues that are related to recognising and valuing student diversity and difference. Using a lens analogy, we analyse a family case study from two perspectives. We conclude with a list of implications and suggestions for providing high quality and high equity literacy pedagogy and literacy outcomes for middle years students. |
