What do we know today about the development of human language, and what future research will help improve diagnosis of disorders and ensure effective intervention? Explore the answers in this comprehensive volume: an in-depth study of both oral and written forms of language, both typical and atypical language development, and the evolutionary, biological, sociocultural, and cognitive factors that affect literacy acquisition.

Based on presentations from a joint meeting of the 16th Extraordinary Brain Symposium and the conference All About Language, which was hosted and supported by St. Petersburg State University, Russia, this volume combines cutting-edge research, insights, questions, and recommendations from more than 40 respected contributors. Readers will explore key topics such as

  • how infants learn and build a body of words
  • what eye tracking can tell us about reading development
  • whether language impairments are inherited
  • how early intervention promotes language acquisition in children with autism spectrum disorder
  • what role executive function plays in both reading development and disorders
  • how students with reading difficulties respond to intervention
  • how reading disabilities are identified in children learning English as a second language
  • what recent studies say about the relationship between spoken and written language
  • how telehealth can make language interventions more accessible

Essential reading for researchers, specialists, and future professionals, this book expertly synthesizes our current knowledge about language and literacy development—and highlights the knowledge gaps we need to fill to support better outcomes for children.

Maryanne Wolf, Director,Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners, and Social Justice Professor, Graduate School of Education and Information Studies - July 26, 2019
There are many great overviews of current research and many excellent efforts to translate research on language and reading into practice. Rarely, however, are there books that manage to do both...This book is that rare entity.
Timothy Shanahan, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Illinois at Chicago - July 16, 2019
Reveals the bleeding edge of what genetics, brain science, and psycholinguistics have to tell us about language and literacy development. I cant remember the last time I was so intellectually excited by a collection of scientific summaries.
Kathleen Winterman, Associate ProfessorDirector, School of EducationCollege of Professional SciencesXavier University - July 12, 2019
Takes a strengths-based approach toward meeting the needs of struggling students...The authors suggestions are rooted in advocacy for the childs future development.
