Reviews

""...this book would probably be most appealing and useful to educational theorists and researchers who are more interested in improving reading achievement than in studying reading as a process in itself."" —Contemporary Psychology ""Well grounded in research and shows a broad view of the vast literature on reading. Carver makes arguments that are well connected to the field while delivering a distinctive and sometimes novel expression of these arguments. He presents a thorough treatment of his theory of reading achievement....delineating rate and accuracy concepts and linking thinking rate to reading rate."" —Charles A.
