Abstract
The review begins by summarising the key themes and arguments presented in the book. It highlights the author's efforts to shed light on the complex ways in which the socio-economic environment of a child's upbringing influences their literacy acquisition. The book successfully addresses how the interconnectedness of place, policy, and pedagogy can perpetuate or alleviate educational inequalities, providing a valuable contribution to the field of early childhood education.
