Features: The purpose of this book is to introduce the basic content of research on reading psychology, while also comparing existing Chinese reading research materials with English reading research. It primarily covers seven aspects: the research objects of reading psychology, models of the reading process, cognitive processing of words, sentence comprehension, analysis of text structure, cognitive monitoring, and the impact of motivation and social factors on reading. In the chapters on research objects and models of the reading process, the scope of reading psychology and three reading process models are discussed. The section on word cognition introduces the content and structure of mental dictionaries and four key issues in word recognition. The sentence comprehension section examines strategies for sentence comprehension and the processing of different types of sentences. The text comprehension section discusses the analysis and understanding of text structure. The last two chapters introduce cognitive monitoring in reading and the influence of motivation, family, and schools on children's reading activities.
