Opis

This book discusses reading "literacy" in its broadest form, especially with reference to comprehension of texts and symbolic information, web based information and complex documents.

Recenzje

"...the book's treatment of complex documents includes a great deal of new research and a very rich context of functional literacy, technology, and education. It uniquely defines a new area of research, demonstrates its agenda, and provides some of the research answers to questions about the use of complex documents."
—Charles Perfetti
