"In toto the third edition of this handbook performs a pedagogical hat trick by delving into the past, covering expansively the state of the art, and postulating both possibilities and potentials for a myriad of futures for scholarship on reading comprehension. The text admirably covers the theory, knowledge bases, and methodologies that serve as the foundations of all work in the field of reading comprehension. Further, in serving as a text for the third decade of the 21st century, it provides coverage of the new and ever-expanding technologies along with coverage of the evolving perspectives on culture, sociolinguistics, policy, equity, etc. as part and parcel to comprehension of text." Norman A. Stahl, Professor Emeritus of Literacy Education at Northern Illinois University, USA"This 3rd edition of the Handbook of Research on Reading Comprehension is needed to evince the ever-evolving nature of reading comprehension. It will be invaluable to professors, students, university program and course development, national accreditation, and professional development. I believe it is a cutting-edge reading comprehension research resource."Maureen McLaughlin, Professor Emerita, East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania
