SUMMARY This review is confined to an examination of experimental research concerned with the acquisition of skill in reading. Attention is drawn to the complex role of perceptual and cognitive processes. It is suggested that experimental studies directed towards an analysis of the task would have two major advantages. They would provide both a better understanding of the nature of the process and a more adequate theoretical basis for developing effective remedial measures.
