Abstract
This chapter concludes the volume and identifies the nature of research methods used, the key themes or commonalities in the research undertaken and any implications for the teaching and learning of literacy in the early childhood setting. In addition, this chapter will explore whether a research agenda for early literacy research can be identified from the chapters and other sources, which may be useful in guiding further research and identifying implications for policy.
