"Oakhill and Beard present an overview and a detialed account of
major issues related to the development and the teaching of
reading.... The material is well linked internally. Together, the
chapters provide an important explanation of the debates that have
long existed in reading circles. The book provides a forum to
develop new philosophical lines of inquiry on reading rather than
continuing to seek answers to traditional notions of reading
instruction.... This important and exciting text illuminates key
social and political issues surrounding the teaching of reading. A
thought-provoking volume worthy of note. Highly recommended for
graduate students, faculty, and researchers." (Choice September
2000)
"...the collection provides a good, if familiar, view of the cognitive approach to reading acquisition.... It will be a useful supporting text for those who already operate within the cognitive experimental framework." (Educational Research, Vol 42, No3, Winter 2000)
