Originally published in 1987, Being Skilled presents a new model of
how children learn to read, and in particular those who learn
quickly and precociously. Bringing together ideas from such diverse
sources as cognitive and developmental psychology and behaviour
analysis perspectives on learning, Stuart McNaughton has produced a
more complete theory based on a study of homes and classrooms, and
the characteristics of reading behaviour in these settings. Within
this theory reading is seen as a symbolic skill with structural
properties that partly determine development; but it is also a
social practice, in which learning is achieved through
problem-solving and the performing of tasks set by particular
environments. Drawing on extensive research carried out in Britain,
North America and Australasia, McNaughton examines how interactions
between teacher and child direct the task of learning to read, and
how the relationship between home and school can be a well-matched
or a poorly-matched setting in which learning may occur. Being
Skilled will appeal to advanced students, researchers and theorists
in education and development psychology and to anyone interested in
the learning of complex skills.
