Book excerpt: While concerns regarding the poor reading progress made by too large a minority of children feature with monotonous regularity in both popular and professional critiques of contemporary schooling, we are perhaps in danger of underestimating the significant progress that has been made by reading scientists. Much of this progress in reading research and theory, however, has yet to filter through to the work of teachers in classrooms. As the title makes clear, the focus of this book is on this recent research and its implications for teachers, educational psychologists and others working in schools. This book brings together nine essays written by leading experts in the field: Kate Nation, Kathleen Rastle, Jennifer Buckingham, Rhona Stainthorp, Jonathan Solity, Kerry Hempenstall, Linda S. Siegel, Kevin Wheldall, Robyn Wheldall and Peter Westwood. [Publisher summary, ed]
