| Book Description: | Incorporating cognitive, neuropsychological, and sociocultural perspectives, this authoritative text explains the psychological processes involved in reading and describes applications for educational practice. The book follows a clear developmental sequence, from the impact of the early family environment through the acquisition of emergent literacy skills and the increasingly complex abilities required for word recognition, reading fluency, vocabulary growth, and text comprehension. Linguistic and cultural factors in individual reading differences are examined, as are psychological dimensions of reading motivation and the personal and societal benefits of reading. |

| Editorial Review: | "I highly recommend this book. It provides an up-to-date perspective on the field, with an effective blend of theory, research, and instructional implications. The developmental focus is a particular strength and makes the book stand apart. Professionals will appreciate the depth of scholarship, and students will appreciate the nontechnical presentation of research findings. The case studies and discussion questions enhance the text's value for courses in psychology and education. I plan to use it in my own courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels."--Linda Baker, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, Baltimore County |
