Around the world, children embark on learning to read in their home
language or writing system. But does their specific language, and
how it is written, make a difference to how they learn? How is
learning to read English similar to or different from learning in
other languages? Is reading alphabetic writing a different
challenge from reading syllabic or logographic writing? Learning to
Read across Languages and Writing Systems examines these questions
across seventeen languages representing the world's different major
writing systems. Each chapter highlights the key features of a
specific language, exploring research on learning to read, spell,
and comprehend it, and on implications for education. The editors'
introduction describes the global spread of reading and provides a
theoretical framework, including operating principles for learning
to read. The editors' final chapter draws conclusions about
cross-linguistic universal trends, and the challenges posed by
specific languages and writing systems.
