Reviews
Maryanne Wolf - There are many great overviews of current research and many excellent efforts to translate research on language and reading into practice. Rarely, however, are there books that manage to do both...This book is that rare entity.
Timothy Shanahan - Reveals the bleeding edge of what genetics, brain science, and psycholinguistics have to tell us about language and literacy development. I can't remember the last time I was so intellectually excited by a collection of scientific summaries.
Kathleen Winterman - Takes a strengths-based approach toward meeting the needs of struggling students...The authors' suggestions are rooted in advocacy for the child's future development.
Sharon Vaugh - An extraordinary multidisciplinary perspective on language-related issues that impact typical and atypical reading development...an essential volume for all scholars and practitioners who want to understand the language processes that underly dyslexia and other disorders.
