Este livro faz parte de uma coletânea de dois volumes sobre leitura e escrita. Neste volume II, 24 pesquisadores, vinculados a 10 universidades brasileiras, fazem uma síntese de investigações empíricas sobre ensino-aprendizagem de leitura e escrita, com diferentes populações (e.g., adultos, crianças com Deficiência Intelectual e Auditiva), sob a perspectiva da Análise do Comportamento, ciência com forte tradição no Brasil. Diálogos entre essa ciência e outras áreas de conhecimento (fonoaudiologia, linguística e educação) são também apresentados. De acordo com a Política Nacional de Alfabetização (PNA) o processo de alfabetização deve se basear em evidências científicas, as quais devem nortear a estruturação curricular e práticas de ensino. Esta obra é voltada para alunos de graduação, pós-graduação e profissionais de psicologia e áreas afins. Estes, encontrarão aqui, subsídios para a realização de novas investigações e para a tomada de decisões baseadas em evidências, em contextos de ensino de leitura e escrita.
