Abstract:

Research on the development on written language and literacy is inherently
multidisciplinary. In this book, leading researchers studying brain, cognition
and behavior, come together in revealing how children develop written language
and literacy, why they may experience difficulties, and which interventions
may help those who struggle. Each chapter provides an overview of a specific
area of expertise, focusing on typical and atypical development, providing
steps for future research, and discussing practical implications of the work.
The book covers areas of bilingualism, dyslexia, reading comprehension,
learning to read, atypical populations, intervention, and new media. Thus, the
book presents a comprehensive overview of the current state of affairs in this
field of research. The various book chapters have been written by researchers
who all have collaborated at some point in their careers with Ludo Verhoeven,
whose research sets the example for the importance of crossing disciplinary
borders to research to take the next, important steps. The combination of the
research in this book sets the stage for future research that connects various
fields, and hopes to inspire anyone interested in the development of written
language and literacy.
