Reading Development and Difficulties, eTextbook
About this book
Reading is a complex activity that involves a range of skills in order to access meaning via the printed word. Reading Development and Difficulties demonstrates that there are two aspects to a child becoming a skilled reader: the development of good word reading skills and the ability to extract the overall meaning of a text. This text provides a comprehensive and balanced introduction to the development of these two core aspects of reading. The text is written clearly and accessibly for students and professionals with no previous background in reading development or reading difficulties.
