As the first title in the new series, New Directions in
Communication Disorders Research: Integrative Approaches, this
volume discusses a unique phenomenon in cognitive science,
single-word reading, which is an essential element in successful
reading competence. Single-word reading is an interdisciplinary
area of research that incorporates phonological, orthographic,
graphemic, and semantic information in the representations suitable
for the task demands of reading. Editors Elena L. Grigorenko and
Adam J. Naples have organized a collection of essays written by an
outstanding group of scholars in order to systematically sample
research on this important topic, as well as to describe the
research within different experimental paradigms. Single-Word
Reading provides an introduction to unfamiliar areas of research,
and is an inspiration for future study. The introductory chapter
sets up a contextual stage for connections between spoken and
written word processing, the stage-based nature of their
development, and the role of education. Succeeding chapters address
visual word processing; the role of morphology in word recognition;
the role of lexical representation; the biological bases of
single-word reading and related processes; and more. Reading
researchers will take interest in this substantial book, as will
professionals and practitioners linked to the teaching of reading
in the departments of school psychology, special education,
communication disorders, neuroscience, cognitive science,
linguistics, and reading.
