Understanding Reading Development

Colin Harrison

This book focuses on how to understand reading processes and what it means to develop reading comprehension. With a wide-ranging theoretical basis, the author makes new connections between work in critical theory, cognitive psychology and literacy. Key features include:

  * how and why we read
  * evaluating response to reading
  * a whole school approach to developing reading.

This book is highly recommended for teachers, literacy coordinators and students and lecturers of masters and doctoral programmes with a reading or literacy focus.
