School Literacy is a complex and particularly important skill with linguistic, cognitive, and social dimensions that decisively determines students' academic progress and the conditions for their social development. Due to its high importance, it has been the focus of the modern international pedagogical literature for the past two decades, as well as in Greece in recent years.

The topic of School Literacy has become urgent and compelling in our country due to recent international reports, which rank Greece among the last countries in the international rankings, as well as due to the new school books, which consciously prioritize the development of School Literacy.

The authors of this volume familiarize educators with processed theoretical analyses of written discourse and tested teaching practices of Functional, Critical, and Scientific Literacy, suitable to enable students to: 1. deeply understand and interpret the semantic content of (school) texts and the social practice they represent, 2. situate texts both within the textual genre and within the social context in which they are produced and function, 3. critically analyze the relationships between lexical-grammatical means and the intended functions of individual textual genres, and 4. compose texts of various genres and types for their learning and later for their social and professional needs.
