Divided into six parts, the book explores word recognition processes in skilled reading, learning to read and spell, reading comprehension and its development, reading and writing in different languages, developmental and acquired reading disorders, and the social, biological, and environmental factors of literacy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Science of Reading \u003c\/i\u003eis extensively revised to reflect contemporary theoretical insights and methodological advances.
