Description
The expert contributors to this volume demonstrate how psychological research can help us to understand the reading process and its development. The collection presents perspectives from a scientific approach to the study of reading and reading development. They are all concerned with how children learn to read, and only indirectly with the broader implications of their research in this area, though each has attempted to bring out the possible implications and applications of their theories and research in these chapters. The contributors address a number of diverse areas: definitions of literacy, models of reading development, recent insights into dyslexia, and factors affecting reading development in children. Practitioners, researchers and students will find in this volume an invaluable source of information and research into literacy and its acquisition.
