The Reading Mind

A Cognitive Approach to Understanding How the Mind Reads
Book • 2017
In 'The Reading Mind', Daniel T. Willingham delves into the complex cognitive processes involved in reading.

He explains how the brain registers letters, words, and sentences, and how reading comprehension is influenced by background knowledge and motivation.

The book discusses the two fundamental processes of reading: by sight and by sound, and addresses the connection between reading and writing.

Willingham also examines the role of technology in learning to read and its effects on reading habits.

The book is designed to be accessible and valuable for teachers, reading specialists, literacy coaches, and school administrators.
