    Synopsis

    Adding to the literature on learning to read in the phonetically "deep" non-alphabetic writing system of some 25% of the world's population, this volume consists of 11 contributed chapters plus critical discussions on each of the four major themes: theoretical perspectives on learning to read, the role of metalinguistic awareness in Chinese reading, the effect of volume of reading on Chinese literacy development, and factors in home literacy. Issues addressed include how Chinese orthography affects language processing, book-based programs in developing countries, and the role and genres of children's literature in the People's Republic of China. Based on a 1999 conference held at the U. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the editors' campus.
