This volume represents a summary of Li’s work in the field of early Chinese literacy since 1997. One of the only writing systems of those developed before 3000 BC, the Chinese language is still evolving and expanding. Research has increased in recent decades as its use as a second language grows with increased trade. Key issues that Li explores are the psycholinguistics and neuropsychological understanding of literacy, pedagogy, and assessment of early literacy. There are six chapters: the psycholinguistics of Chinese literacy; the neuropsychological understanding of Chinese literacy; the pedagogy of teaching Chinese as a first language; the pedagogy of teaching Chinese as a second language; teaching Chinese literacy in early childhood settings; assessing Chinese literacy attainment in the early years.
