Product Description
Review
"Oakhill and Beard present an overview and a detialed account of major issues related to the development and the teaching of reading.... The material is well linked internally. Together, the chapters provide an important explanation of the debates that have long existed in reading circles. The book provides a forum to develop new philosophical lines of inquiry on reading rather than continuing to seek answers to traditional notions of reading instruction.... This important and exciting text illuminates key social and political issues surrounding the teaching of reading. A thought–provoking volume worthy of note. Highly recommended for graduate students, faculty, and researchers." (Choice September 2000)
"...the collection provides a good, if familiar, view of the cognitive approach to reading acquisition.... It will be a useful supporting text for those who already operate within the cognitive experimental framework." (Educational Research, Vol 42, No3, Winter 2000)

Many primary school teachers in the past (and some still do today) go through teacher training colleges run by 'Piaget' and 'whole language' (renamed 'balanced literacy - but don't be fooled) zealots. Student teachers in these environments rarely get given the true picture of reading and how the brain copes with this task, and their teaching instruction methods are less optimal than our beginner readers deserve.
If you want to really know the truth about this subject - then read on! This is a fascinating read. I've learned a lot from this book, even though I am a dyslexia specialist and coached children out of the bad habits gained from poor ('whole language') instruction which compounds their developmental difficulties.
There are many chapters with different aclaimed authors, who are all excellent scientists in their fields and all give a good summary or account of different aspects of the reading process, whether it be phonological skills, initial reading instruction, comprehension etc. Pick and choose a chapter at a time or simply read it cover to cover like me.
You will be so much the wiser for having bought and read this excellent title. 5 stars!
