Here, Frank Smith aims to help the reader understand why some people find the world of mathematics so compelling while others find it so difficult. This volume examines two different worlds: the ""physical world"", and the ""world of mathematics"", and the glass wall that can exist between them.

This volume argues that schools and educational authorities obstruct the interent learning abilities of children, thereby creating handicaps that often persist through life. He presents contrasting views regarding learning, aiming to combat ""sterile"" attitudes towards teaching.

"Understanding Reading" revolutionized reading research and theory when the first edition appeared in 1971. In the sixth edition, Smith's purpose remains the same: to shed light on fundamental aspects of the complex human act of reading - linguistic, physiological, psychological, and social - and on what is involved in learning to read.

Learning to read should be easy and effortless, but in schools it often is not. Why is this so? This work addresses questions that are frequently asked at workshops and conferences about learning, prediction, phonics, stories, meaning, writing, and the brain.

There is an assault on the independence of teachers of reading, mandated under the No Child Left Behind legislation, which regards reading as an unnatural act requiring contrived systematic instruction. This book provides the evidence and arguments that teachers need to resist this mechanistic view; and describes how reading should not be taught.

Delves into how we come to terms with ourselves, with other people, and with the world in general. This book aims to describe the scope and limits for how we can be seen to think, learn, understand, and remember - but not to "explain" such behavior by recourse to hypothetical inner entities.

This updated edition aims to provide a framework for thinking about the act of writing in both theoretical and practical ways. A chapter on computers and writing is included, as well as more about the role of reading in learning to write, and about learning to write at all ages.
