In this volume, two notable scholars trace the monumental shifts in
theory, research, and practice related to reading education and
literacy, with particular attention to what they consider the
central goal of literacy-making meaning. Each section describes a
specific epoch, including a brief snapshot of how the reader of
that period is envisioned and characterized by researchers and
teachers, as well as a deep discussion of the ideas and contextual
events of that era. These developmental waves are organized in
rough historical sequence by a series of shifts in underlying
theoretical and scholarly lenses-from the behavioral to the
psycholinguistic to the cognitive to the sociocultural to the
critical to the multimodal to the global. The book closes with a
discussion of the various research frames and methodological
approaches that paralleled these developments. Throughout, there is
a profound recognition that all research and practice are
ultimately directed toward how students make meaning, from sound to
letter to word, to ideas and images.Book Features: Animates some of
the revolutionary developments related to reading education and
literacy in modern times. Each development is accompanied by a
discussion of the aspirational reader that sets the stage for
contemplating these shifts and their significance. Traces the
research and theoretical developments to illustrate the origins of
the shifts and their influences. Supported by a website with video
lectures and conversations tied to the various waves of
development.
