Research into reading development and reading disabilities has been
dominated by phonologically guided theories for several decades. In
this volume, the authors of 11 chapters report on a wide array of
current research topics, examining the scope, limits and
implications of a phonological theory. The chapters are organized
in four sections. The first concerns the nature of the relations
between script and speech that make reading possible, considering
how different theories of phonology may illuminate the implication
of these relations for reading development and skill. The second
set of chapters focuses on phonological factors in reading
acquisition that pertain to early language development, effects of
dialect, the role of instruction, and orthographic learning. The
third section identifies factors beyond the phonological that may
influence success in learning to read by examining cognitive
limitations that are sometimes co-morbid with reading disabilities,
contrasting the profiles of specific language impairment and
dyslexia, and considering the impact of particular languages and
orthographies on language acquisition. Finally, in the fourth
section, behavioral-genetic and neurological methods are used to
further develop explanations of reading differences and early
literacy development. The volume is an essential resource for
researchers interested in the cognitive foundations of reading and
literacy, language and communication disorders, or
psycholinguistics; and those working in reading disabilities,
learning disabilities, special education, and the teaching of
reading.
