Reviews
This volume is a great resource for understanding the underlying neurological processes involved in reading fluently. It is clearly written and is an extensive review of the available literature. The author shows how interventions with dyslexic readers improve their reading fluency by targeting the brain pathways that work for non dyslexic readers. Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through practitioners. -CHOICE Without a doubt the greatest strength of this project is the long history of superb research Dr. Breznitz has conducted in the area of fluency. Indeed, her investigations in fluency predated by many years the current vogue that fluency research now enjoys. As a reading researcher and cognitive neuroscientist, I welcome such a promising addition to the field and will certainly purchase a copy myself. -Maryanne Wolf Tufts University I find this book to be refreshingly complete, covering the range of theoretical, empirical, and practical issues that are so often underrepresented in books of this nature. In particular, I think the author's plan to sort out the relationship between phonological processing and fluency will be a particularly important contribution. -David Chard University of Oregon
