In the thoroughly updated second edition of this unique book,
Catherine McBride examines how the languages we know help structure
the process of becoming literate. Taking an ecological and
distinctively cross-cultural perspective, the book looks at reading
and writing development and impairment across a range of languages,
scripts, and contexts. The book covers issues including: The
importance of phonological sensitivity for learning to read and to
write The first units, or building blocks, of literacy learning in
different scripts such as Chinese, English, Korean Hangul, Hebrew,
Hindi and Arabic The role of visual processing in reading and
writing skills How the latest research can inform the teaching of
reading An overview of our understanding of dyslexia, including
recent neuroscientific research The developmental challenges in
becoming biliterate What is special about writing for beginners and
later for comprehensive writing Basics of reading comprehension
Children's Literacy Development, Second Edition is a timely and
important contribution to our understanding of literacy around the
world. Written by an eminent scholar in the field, it is the only
book available that provides an overview of how children learn to
read and write in different languages, and will be essential
reading for all students of Developmental Psychology, Educational
Psychology, Psycholinguistics and Speech Therapy.
