Extract

CHINESE CHILDREN'S READING ACQUISITION: THEORETICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL ISSUES. Wenling Li, Janet S. Gaffney, and Jerome L. Packard (Eds.). Dordrecht: Kluwer, 2002. Pp. xi + 266. $135.00 cloth.

This collaborative exploration by researchers in China and the United States spans theoretical, experimental, pedagogical, and ethnographic perspectives. The book thus offers learning opportunities to a range of audiences—reading researchers who want a better understanding of the structure of Chinese writing and the cognitive processes it appears to shape, students who wish to study how one-fifth of the world population reads, educators interested in comparative education, and all those with interdisciplinary curiosity about this nonalphabetic script, evolved from ancient times.
