How do skilled readers pick up meaning from markings on a page so quickly, and how do children learn to do so? The chapters in the \u003cem\u003eOxford Handbook of Reading\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003esynthesize research on these topics from fields ranging from vision science to cognitive psychology and education, focusing on how studies using a cognitive approach can shed light on how the reading process works. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo set the stage, the opening chapters present information about writing systems and methods of studying reading, including those that examine speeded responses to individual words as well as those that use eye movement technology to determine how sentences and short passages of text are processed.\u003cbr\u003eThe following section discusses the identification of single words by skilled readers, as well as insights from studies of adults with reading disabilities due to brain damage. Another section considers how skilled readers read a text silently, addressing such issues as the role of sound in silent\u003cbr\u003ereading and how readers' eyes move through texts. Detailed quantitative models of the reading process are proposed throughout. The final sections deal with how children learn to read and spell, and how they should be taught to do so. These chapters review research with learners of different\u003cbr\u003elanguages and those who speak different dialects of a language; discuss children who develop typically as well as those who exhibit specific disabilities in reading; and address questions about how reading should be taught with populations ranging from preschoolers to adolescents, and how research\u003cbr\u003efindings have influenced education. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Reading \u003c\/em\u003ewill benefit researchers and graduate students in the fields of cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, education, and related fields (e.g., speech and language pathology) who are interested in reading, reading instruction, or reading disorders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Pollatsek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.10w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199324576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlexander Pollatsek, Ph.D.\u003c\/strong\u003e, is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRebecca Treiman, Ph.D.\u003c\/strong\u003e, is Burke and Elizabeth High Baker Professor of Child Developmental Psychology at Washington University in St. Louis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39934201036915,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_8e21b359-051e-4b2f-ad80-b988370b1f6b.jpg?v=1647877486","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-oxford-handbook-of-reading-9780199324576","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
