Reviews
"Oakhill and Beard present an overview and a detialed account of major issues related to the development and the teaching of reading.... The material is well linked internally. Together, the chapters provide an important explanation of the debates that have long existed in reading circles. The book provides a forum to develop new philosophical lines of inquiry on reading rather than continuing to seek answers to traditional notions of reading instruction.... This important and exciting text illuminates key social and political issues surrounding the teaching of reading. A thought-provoking volume worthy of note. Highly recommended for graduate students, faculty, and researchers." (Choice September 2000)
"...the collection provides a good, if familiar, view of the cognitive approach to reading acquisition.... It will be a useful supporting text for those who already operate within the cognitive experimental framework." (Educational Research, Vol 42, No3, Winter 2000)
