Description

"'Beautifully written... In a wide ranging yet highly readable account, the author provides an up-to-date summary of his findings in pre-schoolers and children up to Grade 3 ... Over a series of meticulously crafted experiments, Professor Byrne concludes that of all phonemic skills, the ability to identify phoneme constancy - that is the ability to determine that two words share a common phoneme - is the critical factor ... The monograph is a model of clarity, with clear summaries and recapitulations throughout and useful tutorials for the varied audience at which this book is aimed. It offers a fascinating insight into the mind of the novice reader.'" - Uta Frith (MRC Cognitive Development Unit, London)
