>Colleagues: Starting in 2007 a group of the RHF started calling for
>celebrating the 100th anniversary of E. B. Huey's Psychology and Pedagogy
>of Reading. In this regard, we asked the IRA to reprint the book but I
>didn't think the IRA wanted to. But a group of us put together a symposium
>for the IRA meeting of 2008 in Atlanta and had a good group attend the
>symposium. Now I have found that the IRA has put together a reprint of the
>book and it can now be ordered from the IRA. Here is some info about the
>book which sells for about $40 for non-IRA members. Tom Sticht

>The longevity of Huey’s work is impressive. It is as relevant today as it
>was in 1908 or 1968. Much of what he wrote could be found in many
>contemporary works on reading as well as in the reading research
>literature. In rereading Huey, we can truly see how far we have come in
>answering the questions surrounding how we read and learn to read.
>— Michael L. Kamil and Elizabeth B. Bernhardt, from the Introduction

>Few works have had as profound an influence on reading research and
>scholarship as this classic. Originally published in 1908 and rereleased in
>1968, it remains one of the most cited books in reading and related
>disciplines. Essential for anyone interested in the history of reading and
>reading instruction, it is a must-have volume for scholars seeking to
>deepen their understanding of the development of current thinking in the
>field.
>
>With its discussion of topics from word recognition to fluency to
>comprehension to instructional methods, readers will find The Psychology
>and Pedagogy of Reading as thought provoking today as it was 100 years ago.
>The new introduction to this special edition, by leading scholars Michael
>Kamil and Elizabeth Bernhardt, highlights where Huey’s work seems
>particularly prescient, discusses recent research that calls some of his
>findings into question, and speculates about the issues that he would find
>important in today’s education climate.
