Opis

This 2nd edition, first published in 1990, elaborates on the 3 major themes: reading is a linguistic process; motivation, the affective domain, may be as important in learning to read as the cognitive domain; and the reality of learning theory is to be found in the mechanisms of the brain where information is mediated and memory traces are stored.
