Research on word recognition is listed in two sections: Part 1, 1950 to the present, and Part 2, 1900-1949. Citations in each section are alphabetized according to the author's last name and are followed by descriptive abstracts in Part 1 and by brief annotations in Part 2. In order to make this bibliography helpful to users with varying concepts of word recognition, documents were selected according to a broad definition which considers word recognition any means of attacking new or partly known words. Included are documents ranging from those which discuss innovative teaching orthographies. Source material was drawn from the seven basic references of the ERIC/CRIER document collection: "Published Research Literature in Reading, 1964-1966,""Published Research Literature in Reading, 1950-1963,""Published Research Literature in Reading, 1900-1949,""USOE Sponsored Research on Reading,""Recent Doctoral Dissertation Research in Reading,""International Reading Association Conference Proceedings Reports on Elementary Reading," and "International Reading Association Conference Proceedings Reports on Secondary Reading."
