| Summary: | Focusing on how children learn to read in a language they have previously only spoken, this book illustrates the skill theory of reading development, which encompasses both new perceptual processes and modified but familiar integrative cognitive processes of language comprehension. The chapters discuss the following aspects of learning to read: (1) phonemic analysis, spelling, and reading; (2) literacy background and reading development in a second language; (3) knowing words and understanding texts; (4) discourse structure and mental models; (5) the impact of classroom activities on beginning reading development; (6) using component skills analysis to integrate findings on reading development; and (7) bridging the gap between theory and practice in reading. The final chapter lists several journals that publish high quality research on reading and a number of books that provide systematic introduction to the area of reading. (Hth). |
