About this title

Synopsis

This practical text draws on a wide but integrated range of research and theory on how children learn to read and appreciate literature. The authors provide a much-needed, balanced analysis of both traditional and progressive approaches that goes beyond phonics and whole language. Learning to Read features leading-edge research and a global perspective on such controversial topics as: literacy and social background, phonemic awareness, self-discovery of letter-sound relations, the use of text structure for comprehension, and the effects of contrasting teaching approaches. The student-friendly text includes preview questions, chapter reviews, and study questions to help the reader reflect on the chapter contents and discuss the implications for teaching and learning.
