Book Description
The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the reading and reading-related skills of French middle school students (Grades 6 to 9). The first objective was to identify the capacity involved in reading comprehension at the middle school level. In the first grades (Grades 6 and 7), the results show that reading comprehension skills are largely predicted by listening comprehension, morphological awareness, and irregular word reading, but not pseudoword reading skills, whatever the measure (accuracy or time). This latter result is found in the higher grades (Grades 8 and 9) in which irregular word reading has no impact on reading comprehension, again regardless of the measure. The second objective was to develop a diagnostic evaluation tool for word-level reading and reading-related skills in middle school students. The examination of word-level reading skills at middle school showed significant effects of both regularity and lexicality, whatever the measure and independently of grade. The effect of length depends on lexicality: long pseudowords are read less accurately and more slowly than short ones, whereas long irregular words are read as well as short ones. Reading level (assessed by a French "gold standard" test) is mainly predicted by pseudoword reading skills, and also by phonemic awareness, for response times. The consistent structure (validity) of the tool is verified using a new statistical method: hierarchical classification of variables. The overall results underline the importance of considering response times in addition to accuracy in all assessments.

Book Description
Most studies on reading have been conducted with English-speaking subjects. It is crucial to also examine studies conducted in different languages, in order to highlight which aspects of reading acquisition and dyslexia appear to be language-specific, and which are universal. Reading Acquisition and Developmental Dyslexia sheds new light on dyslexia and its relationship with reading acquisition, presenting two unique advancements in this area. Looking at studies conducted in different languages, the prerequisites of reading acquisition are examined, and the findings from studies of skilled adult readers are presented. The manifestations of developmental dyslexia and the main contemporary explanations for it are outlined, providing an in-depth, well researched discussion of the topic. The authors conclude by offering a new framework which could explain both reading acquisition and developmental dyslexia. A fascinating book offering a unique insight into the topic of dyslexia, it will be of great interest to students and lecturers in cognitive psychology, educational psychology, and psycholinguistics, as well as those with a more everyday involvement with the disorder such as speech and language therapists.

Book Description
The individual that the social sciences take as an object is most often studied in a particular context or from a single dimension. The actor is analysed as a student, worker, consumer, spouse, reader, sportsperson, a voter etc. However, in societies where individuals live often through simultaneously and successively heterogeneous and sometimes contradictory social experiences, each person inevitably carries a plurality of roles, ways of seeing, feeling and acting. The aim of this study is to consider the ways in which this plurality of worlds and experiences are incorporated into the being of each individual and to observe the individual's actions in a variety of settings. In addition to his sociological viewpoint, the author engages with psychology, history, anthropology and philosophy. His reflections lead him to embark on a program of psychological sociology to highlight the complexities of this plural view of the social.
