Reading And Linguistic Development 

by Paula Menyuk 

Paula Menyuk brings to classroom teachers of reading the important research findings on language development that have been reported in scientific and professional writings during the past two decades. These are reported in non-technical language to make it possible for teachers to use the knowledge to help their students.

Special emphasis is placed on earlier grades, and how ones emphasis should change during sequential periods of development: preschool, early grades, middle grades, and high school. This book by a noted linguist brings to those who work in reading and understading that is sorely needed at this time.
