Phonological Processes in Literacy cover

This impressive volume contains the edited proceedings of a symposium held in honor of Isabelle Y. Liberman, whose teaching and writings laid the foundation for contemporary views of reading disability. Her work has influenced ways of thinking about the nature of the problem and ways of working with children and adults who experience unusual difficulty in learning to read. The symposium covered four themes that were central to Dr. Liberman's research on reading acquisition and disability: the development of phonological awareness, the relationship between phonological awareness and success in learning to read and write, the investigation of other phonological processes associated with reading and writing performance, and the implications of current research on these matters for reading instruction. The text includes a paper on each topic, followed by commentaries which introduce additional research findings and theoretical considerations -- all by leading researchers in the field.

"This volume presents valuable discussions of what are arguably the key issues in current research in the acquisition of literacy....Susan Brady, Donald Shankweiler, and their contributors are to be congratulated for their efforts in producing a volume of uniformly high quality that should be read by all researchers interested in reading acquisition....Although primarily aimed at researchers, this book is also strongly recommended to the general reader wishing to understand the theoretical basis for reading instruction emphasizing decoding skills."
