Literate Thought: Understanding Comprehension and Literacy will introduce students and professionals to the multifaceted concept of literate thought and related complex concepts such as language, literacy, cognition, and comprehension, as well as other areas such as the new and multiple literacies, psychological or disciplinary models, and critico-creative thinking. Literate Thought: Understanding Comprehension and Literacy details the various aspects of a model or theory of literate thought. Each requisite is explained with examples to enhance understanding of the concept. This incisive text provides an adequate understanding of and the necessity to develop literate thought in individuals from a multiple perspective, not just from print literacy only. With alternative or additional options for developing literate thought, the possibility to improve levels of thinking in everyone, including children with disabilities and those learning English as a second language, may be increased.
