Rezensionen

"An impressive read! This book bridges between research-substantiated explanations of effective literacy instruction and the current neuroscience evidence on reading processes and development. Spence and Mitra have achieved what others have only envisioned, conjoining neurobiology and classroom sociality for a robust explanation of robust literacy engagement."

--George G. Hruby, Collaborative Center for Literacy Development, University of Kentucky, USA

"[T]his book provides an accessible, useable summary of important research findings about how children learn to read, and about how adults can support and teach this process in socially, emotionally, culturally, linguistically and cognitively appropriate ways. From complex neuroscientific data to practical implications for diverse K-12 classroom contexts, Spence and Mitra take educators on a journey into the science and practice of teaching reading to help young people become literate in the full sense of the term."
