NOTE: This document was generated from the 1995-1997 UIUC Programs of Study. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, but be advised that requirements may have changed since this book was published.

The Center for the Study of Reading is a multidisciplinary community of researchers and scholars who conduct basic and applied research and engage in practical programs designed to produce a better understanding of how people learn to read, how they comprehend what they read, and how they can be taught to read.

Examples of continuing programs of basic research at the center include investigations of perceptual processes in reading and children's knowledge acquisition in the content areas.

The center disseminates its work to educators, researchers, and others interested in reading research and education through its Technical Reports series and through publications such as Becoming a Nation of Readers, 10 Ways to Help Your Children Become Better Readers, and Beginning to Read: Thinking and Learning about Print.
