These issues have had an impact on pedagogic theory and practice in various ways. One such is the view that schooling should build on the non-schooled, everyday, literacy practices which abound in our society. These may be literacy practices which are displayed by the pre-schooler (Hall, 1994), or they may be those which form part of our daily adult lives (Barton & Padmore, 1994); these latter may also be culturally-specific literacies such as traditions of story-telling (Kenyon & Kenyon, 1996) or constructions of writing and reading as social and shared activities (Heath, 1983).
