Research on Reading Processes: A Historical Perspective

Venezky, Richard L.

American Psychologist, 32, 5, 339-45, May 77

The systematic study of reading dates from the beginnings of experimental psychology in the 1880's. A revival of experimental work began in the 1950's. The research community needs a more convincing justification for continued government support of reading research than one based on potential links to classroom practice. (Author/JM)
