Theoretical Models and Processes of Reading, Volume 1Harry Singer, Robert B. Ruddell Intended for teachers, students, and researchers of reading, this book reflects the theories, models, and research generated over the past 10 years on the psychology and pedagogy of reading.

Essays in the second section discuss the various processes of reading, and are organized under subheadings for language, visual perception, word recognition, comprehension, metacognition, affective domain, and culture. Specific topics discussed in this section include oral and written language acquisition and the reading process, comprehension of text structures, development of selective attention strategies for learning from text, and the social context of learning to read.
