The book City Literacy's attempts to take a look at what happens when a child learns to read. The book also discusses different situations that a person learns to read in, whether it is formal or informal.

The main purpose of this book was to prove three myths wrong. The first myth is that being of a low economic level, does not mean low literacy levels. The second is that early reading success does not matter when it comes to your overall reading ability. The final myth is that parents do not have to speak English at home for their children to have a high literacy level. Throughout this book the authors present a great deal of information. Most of the information is presented through interviews.

Local Literacies is a unique study of everyday reading and writing. By concentrating on a selection of people in a particular community in Britain, the authors analyze how they use literacy in their day to day lives. This exploration provides a description of literacy at one point in time, and also reveals the nature and significance of communication to people, households and communities.
