Synopses & Reviews
As efforts to promote literacy accelerate in all parts of the world, research on reading has moved in new and innovative directions and taken on an increasingly international dimension. Reflecting these developments, this new bibliography expands current notions of what comparative reading is, or ought to be. It lists and categorizes research efforts made throughout the world, giving special emphasis to the tendency to conceive of the reading process in interdisciplinary terms.
