From Orthography to Pedagogy pays tribute to Richard L. Venezky's
work and influence on reading, linguistics, and computer science.
This book catalogs findings related to speech and language
development, reading and spelling's role in infant speech
development, and the present and future advances in the study and
theory of speech and cognitive development. The editors focus on
the role technology could play in development and advancement of
literacy speech and reasoning. Topics include: *speech directed at
infants; *speech perception; *cognitive development and spelling;
*early reading instruction; *reading and comprehension; and
*influences of modern technology and multi-media. Representing a
history of study in the field, this book appeals to anyone working
in the area of language development, as well as those in related
fields such as linguistics and developmental psychology.
This special issue is a snapshot of current research in this area,
showing many of the issues encountered, the methods employed, and
the limitations faced. All four studies involve experimental or
quasi-experimental studies but all are based on participants
recruited from adult literacy programs. Together these studies
illuminate many of the gray areas of adult basic processing,
particularly for adults in basic skills programs. They present many
of the complexities of studying how literacy adults: the high
percentages with learning disabilities, the differences across
native and non-native English speakers and within classes of the
latter, the different processing abilities of adults and children
matched for reading ability, the impacts of language and
orthography on reading strategies, and the importance of measure
speed, as well as accuracy in studying basic processing. As such,
the present studies are an indication that scientific programs
exist and are at work on key issues.
