Originally published in 1986. In literate societies around the
world, children begin instruction in reading somewhere between the
ages of five and seven years. On one level their tasks are very
similar - learn the sound-symbol relationship of their languages
and apply their linguistic and cognitive skills to gain meaning
from print. On another level their tasks seem to vary -
orthographies and sound-symbol relationships differ, and cultures'
attitude towards reading and children's motivation to achieve range
widely. This book considers both universal and culturally
constrained aspects of the process of learning to read, with the
first four chapters exemplifying cognitive universal approaches to
reading, and the last four highlighting cultural constraints. It
will be of use to researchers and students, as well as teachers
requiring an insight into how reading skills are acquired.
