How Reading Is Learned

Learning to read is a wonderful experience for a child, or it is surely hoped to be.

This book, rather than being another text book about learning techniques, is instead a description of the learning to read process in all of its aspects.

From the earliest reading experience, becoming a fluent and proficient reader is described. The importance and relevance of a good reading standard and its impact on school, further education and employment and career prospects, is highlighted. And the disadvantages of being a poor reader.

Reading is not just for children. Benefits can last a whole lifetime and this includes late learners and adults who may have spent much of their adult life not being able to read at all. This of course can be remedied and could be life changing.

Perhaps last of all is the value of reading for pleasure and the benefits that brings.
