My hope in writing Word Callers, writes Kelly Cartwright, is to share insights into what
makes word callers tick, as well as effective interventions that can help these children learn to
enjoy the rich meaningful world of reading that they are missing. Her research has long focused
on the importance of flexible thinking for skilled comprehension, and her word-and-picture card
assessment and intervention developed as she observed that some students could read fluently
but had surprising difficulty focusing on meaning. Kelly is Associate Professor in the Department
of Psychology and in the Teacher Preparation Department at Christopher Newport University,
where she teaches courses in childrens thinking, learning, and reading. She is editor of Literacy Processes: Cognitive
Flexibility in Learning and Teaching.
