Publisher's Description
An acclaimed
reference that fills a significant gap in the literature, this volume
examines the linkages between spoken and written language development,
both typical and atypical. Leading authorities address the impact of
specific language-related processes on K-12 literacy learning, with
attention to cognitive, neurobiological, sociocultural, and
instructional issues. Approaches to achieving optimal learning outcomes
with diverse students are reviewed. The volume presents research-based
practices for assessing student needs and providing effective
instruction in all aspects of literacy: word recognition, reading
comprehension, writing, and spelling.
