Handbook of Language and Literacy
Development and Disorders
Development and Disorders
Edited by C. Addison Stone, Elaine R. Silliman, Barbara J. Ehren, and Kenn Apel
"A text that challenges the literacy community to rethink the meaning of difference, particularly as it relates to students' language and literacy acquisition in U.S. public schools....Provides insights into the politics of difference [and] helps us to recast our vision of effective instruction for atypical language and literacy learners....The Handbook has important messages for literacy teacher educators."
-Reading Research Quarterly
"This book has it all. Neurology, heredity, cognition, motivation, prevention, assessment, intervention, and policy are just some of the topics covered in this comprehensive guide examining the links between language and literacy learning. This is a 'must-have' book for anyone who is interested in reading and writing development and disorders. As a sourcebook for researchers and a text for graduate-level seminars in literacy, special education, and speech and language, it is without equal."
-Steve Graham, EdD, Department of Special Education, Vanderbilt University
"Comprehensive, multifaceted, and provocative, this is an outstanding contribution for those who recognize the need for interdisciplinary dialogue. It is also an invaluable teaching tool. Faculty members who adopt this text would be well advised to keep a copy for their desk, a copy for their bookshelf, and a 'not-to-be-loaned' copy at home."
-Katharine G. Butler, PhD, CCC-SLP, Professor Emerita, Communication Disorders and Sciences Program, San José State University
"Finally we have one book that weaves together topics in language, cognition, and reading education, and that does so in an evenhanded fashion."
-Louisa Moats, EdD, Director of Literacy Research and Professional Development, Sopris West Educational Services, Longmont, Colorado
"The seasoned scholars who have contributed to this book clarify the close links between oral and written language in a way that has not been done before. The book is well organized and relevant to both researchers and practitioners. Its inclusion of a section on social and political contexts is a particularly welcome and unique contribution."
