Abstract

In the context of an enhanced emphasis on literacy development in all Irish classrooms and a strong desire for continuous professional development with respect to literacy in schools, this research symposium sought to disseminate to teachers at all levels key school and classroom-focused literacy research completed by teacher researchers who completed MEd degrees at the School of Education, UCC. The symposium provided a forum for the sharing of best practice with respect to literacy development in key areas ranging from fluency to comprehension to assessment and digital literacy issues.
