Reading by Frank Smith
Since the publication of the first edition in 1978, this book has become a standard work for all those interested in reading. The book is about the process of reading, the perceptual and language skills involved, and the nature of the task facing anyone learning to read. At the heart of Frank Smith's analysis is the seemingly simple truth that it is only through reading that children learn to read and, in this edition, the author introduces the notion of the 'literacy club' which children need to join if they are to become successful readers.
Smith, Frank: - Frank Smith was born in Canada and went to England at the age of six. At the age of 16 he went to work in Bletchley Park, the wartime station where enemy communications were being decoded with the aid of the famous Enigma machine. He began writing in the 1960s. The theme of the first five books, beginning with CORPSE IN HANDCUFFS, was espionage in the Cold War years, but when that came to an end he moved on to police procedurals featuring DCI Neil Paget and DS John Tregalles.
