Introduction by Author
A Psycholinguistic Analysis of Reading and Learning to Read
Dear Friend,
Understanding Reading revolutionized reading research and theory
when the first edition appeared in 1971 and continues to be a
leader in the field.
In the sixth edition of this classic text, Smith's purpose remains
the same: to shed light on fundamental aspects of the complex
human act of reading--linguistic, physiological, psychological,
and social--and on what is involved in learning to read.
The text critically examines current theories, instructional
practices, and controversies, covering a wide range of disciplines
but always remaining accessible to students and classroom teachers.
Careful attention is given to the ideological clash that continues
between whole language and direct instruction and currently permeates
every aspect of theory and research into reading and reading instruction.
To aid readers in making up their own minds, each chapter concludes
with a brief statement of "Issues."
Understanding Reading: A Psycholinguistic Analysis of Reading and
Learning to Read, Sixth Edition is designed to serve as a handbook
for language arts teachers, a college text for basic courses on the
psychology of reading, a guide to relevant research on reading, and
an introduction to reading as an aspect of thinking and learning.
It is matchless in integrating a wide range of topics relative to
reading while, at the same time, being highly readable and user-friendly
for instructors, students, and practitioners.
