A comprehensive overview of important contemporary issues in the
field of reading research from the mid 1980s to mid 1990s, this
well-received volume offers readers an examination of literacy
through a variety of lenses--some permitting microscopic views and
others panoramic views. A veritable "who's who" of specialists in
the field, chapter authors cover current methodology, as well as
cumulative research-based knowledge.
Because it deals with society and literacy, the first section
provides the broadest possible view of literacy. The second section
defines the range of activities culturally determined to be a part
of the enterprise known as literacy. The third focuses on the
processes that individuals engage in when they perform the act of
reading. The fourth section visits the environment in which the
knowledge that comprises literacy is passed on from one generation
to the next. The last section, an epilogue to the whole enterprise
of reading research, provides apt philosophical reflection.
