Understanding dyslexia and the reading process

the long version

"This book demystifies dyslexia, presenting it against a background of normal reading development and in the context of child development. The author provides extensive research on helping children who do not learn to read on schedule. Case examples illustrate specific skill weaknesses and multiple factors that affect how well a child overcomes or compensates for dyslexia. The final two chapters of the book discuss the history and nature of reading instruction and how we can improve it."--BOOK JACKET.
