DESCRIPTION:Reading is a learned skill that requires years of dedication\,
  instruction and practice to master.  Most theories of reading acquisition
  emphasise the importance of learning the relationship between letters and
  sounds\, and it is undisputed that sound-based (phonological) information
  is central to skilled reading.  However\, writing systems also carry impo
 rtant meaning-based (morphological) information that often compromises sys
 tematicity in the mapping between letters and sounds.  This seminar discus
 ses the interplay between these two forms of information in skilled readin
 g and in reading acquisition.  \n\n \n\nProfessor Kathy Rastle is Head of 
 the Department of Psychology at Royal Holloway\, University of London.  Sh
 e has published extensively on the mechanisms that underpin language and r
 eading.
