Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

Understanding reading abilities and their development is fundamental for
language comprehension and human cognition. Now in its second edition, this
book draws on research from multiple disciplines to explain reading abilities
in both L1 and L2, and shows how this research can be applied in practice in
order to support reading development. Research into reading has progressed a
great deal since the first edition was published, so this edition has been
completely updated and revised, in order to reflect these advances. All
chapters present updated research studies, and completely new chapters are
included on the neurocognition of reading, reading-writing relationships, and
digital reading. If you want to know how reading works, no matter the
language(s) involved, as well as how it can be taught effectively, this book
provides a persuasive research foundation and many practical insights. It is
essential reading for academic researchers and students in Applied Linguistics
and TESOL.
