This accessible text brings together research on word reading and
comprehension development, which are often treated separately, and
provides a comprehensive and detailed introductory text to reading
development and difficulties.


Key features include:






  • An introduction to the important issues in reading research and
    the skills involved in reading words and understanding text, from
    the point of view of both a beginner and a skilled reader


  • A consideration of the similarities and differences between
    written and spoken language, and the advantages and disadvantages
    of different methodological approaches


  • An examination of how failures in reading comprehension skills
    can create difficulties and disorders


  • A consideration of the implications of this research for the
    teaching of reading and the diagnosis and treatment of reading
    difficulties





This text will be useful to many different groups of readers,
not only researchers and students in psychology but also those who
work in more applied settings, such as students in education and
speech and language therapy, who may have a limited background
knowledge of the psychology of reading.
