Learning to Read: Psychology in the Classrooom

by ElaineFunnell (Editor), Morag Stuart (Editor)

Synopsis

The purpose of this book is to bridge the gap between those who teach children to read and those who research into the psychological processes involved in learning to read. The book brings together leading researchers from both psychology and education (including Roger Beard, Maggie Snowling, Charles Hulme and Jane Oakhill) to write about aspects of the psychology of reading which should be of use to teachers in the classroom. Throughout, there is an emphasis on practical advice and on making more complex psychological issues accessible to teachers.

Media Reviews
This is a well-judged, well-balanced and timely book. 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. Of course, there is always a gap between laboratory and classroom, but this book will act as an enthusiastic and well-informed go-between. Uta Frith, MRC Cognitve Development Unit, London, UK
