It takes a serious, down-to-earth look at reading and writing as psychological processes. These processes are demonstrable over and above any fads and fashions in teaching. Rather, they can inform teaching practice, and this really is the central concern of this book...

This lively book links the study of cognitive processes involved in reading with the reading skills acquired by the learning child, and with the practical need of teachers. Throughout, the importance of applying a scientific approach to the study and teaching of reading is emphasized.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eEarly chapters appraise current educational practices in the teaching of reading and relate these to our present understanding of what it is that children learn when they begin to read. As a central theme, the normal pattern of reading development is compared with disturbed reading development. Later chapters discuss methods of assessing reading ability in individual children out in the classroom with gourps of poor readers. Finally, the book addresses the problems of children who may master the mechanics of reading but fail to understand what they read.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe chapters are written in a readable style by internationally known academic researchers, and the editors have provided introductory and linking pieces for each chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Contributors vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface vii\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eElaine Funnell and Morag Stuart\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Learning to Read: Psychology and Education 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoger Beard\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Recognizing Printed Words Unlocks the Door to Reading: How Do Children Find the Key? 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMorag Stuart\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Cognitive Psychology of Reading Acquisition in the Classroom: Fact or Fantasy? 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhilip H.K.
