Abstract
Reading and writing connections are likely the best soil to grow an integrative view of literacy, which, in this chapter we call literacy science. Five major workings seem crucial to establish literacy science. The contributions to this volume align quite well with those five integration lines. The field needs at least to (i) redefine literacy, (ii) to model the evolving relations between reading and writing throughout development, (iii) to develop a comprehensive view of literacy development, (iv) to account for diversity across a multitude of orthographies, and (v) to provide practitioners with integrated evidence-based literacy interventions.
Preparation of this chapter benefitted from networking at COST Action IS1401 European Literacy Network (www.eln.eu).
