This review is from: Progress in Understanding Reading: Scientific Foundations and New Frontiers (Paperback)
In case you didn't read the summary, Progress in Understanding Reading is a collection of significant articles from 25 years of research on reading by Keith Stanovich, interspersed with Stanovich's insights and reflective commentary. The chapters themselves cover a good range of topics, and appropriately highlight some of Stanovich's most impactful and enduring work, e.g. the interactive-compensatory model, which suggests poor readers use contextual information to compensate for weaknesses in decoding or textbase formation. The book concludes with a strong critique of the Reading Wars, specific disappointment in the political left (though Stanovich is outspokenly progressive, and takes potshots at conservatives) for blindly favoring whole language, and an argument for science-based approaches in the future.
