Opis

In the late 1970s, reading research had become a true interdisciplinary endeavour. Given appropriate integration, results from these diverse perspectives can enhance our understanding of reading behaviour hugely, both in its acquisition and in its skilled functioning. Thus, the enthusiasm for such interdisciplinary interaction had been intense for some time. The National Reading Conference had been doing everything possible to accelerate this interaction. First published in 1981, the chapters in this book are the fruits of that effort.
