The first truly systematic, multi-disciplinary, and cross-linguistic study of the language and writing system factors affecting the emergence of dyslexia.
Providing a comprehensive overview of research into reading processes from word identification to the comprehension of multiple texts, acknowledged leaders in the field present the state of the art and current controversies in the field.
This important new study presents the most complete account to date of verbal efficiency theory and its implications for reading disability, learning to read, and beginning reading instruction. Following a review of basic research, the author provides a thorough account of skilled reading processes and carefully delineates the reasons for differences in reading ability. Comparisions between adult and child readers and between normal readers and dyslexics illuminate the theoretical discussion and demonstrate practical applications in therapy and pedagogy. Reading Ability will be of particular interest to students and researchers in educational psychology, cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, and reading psychology.

First Published in 1979. These volumes explore the range and depth of our theoretical and practical knowledge about early reading instruction. Contributors-psychologists, linguists, instructional designers, reading and special education experts were asked to address three questions: (1) What is the nature of skilled reading? (2) How is reading skill acquired? (3) What do the nature of skilled reading and the process of acquiring reading skill jointly suggest for reading instruction? This is Volume I of a collection of essays looking at topics such as reading stages, coding and comprehension skills, word recognition, language skills, instruction and teaching theories and an analysis of reading two beginning reading programs.
