Literacy Practices in Sports and Coaching: Developing Literacy Competencies in Interdisciplinary Environments (Routledge Research in Literacy Education)

Synopsis

This book addresses the ways in which literacy skills, including both reading and writing instruction, are introduced, reinforced, reviewed, and refined in a sports or physical education setting.While there has been significant research that highlights the academic benefits of sports participation and the use of sports programming and units for literacy instruction in the classroom, there is limited research regarding the literacy practices that occur as a direct part of sports participation. This book addresses this crucial gap in the scholarship. The argument presented in this manuscript contends that a number of literacy skills and competencies are taught in and through a number of sports programs and explores how they are effectively and naturally integrated into structured athletics/sports programming. Addressing engagement with literacy skills and competencies in a unique setting, it provides a new lens from which readers can view reading and writing.This book will be of critical interest to scholars and researchers with interests in literacy education and sports education, as well as instructional coaches, sports coaches, literacy educators, health and physical education teachers, middle and secondary educators, and administrators.
