Abstract:

Originally published in 1957, this book presents a comprehensive account of
the factors involved in learning to read and the issues leading to children
having difficulties in this area. The text begins by analysing what the child
does during the learning process, discussing mistakes and difficulties at each
point. Consideration is given to the relative importance of seeing and
recognising shapes and their relationships, hearing and pronouncing sounds
correctly, and understanding the meanings of words and their phonetic
analysis. This leads to a study of the nature of 'reading disability' and its
main environmental and innate causes. Methods of remedial teaching and
strategies for improving reading are then covered. This book will be of value
to anyone with an interest in the development of child psychology and the
processes involved in learning to read.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
