Reading Development and Difficulties: Bridging the Gap Between Research and Practice
Reading Development and Difficulties: Bridging the Gap Between Research and Practice provides an overview of current research on the development of reading skills, as well as practices to help educational professionals assess, prevent, and intervene with students who have reading difficulties. The book discusses the Componential Model of Reading (CMR) and offers assessment methods, instructional recommendations, and application models. It identifies specific cognitive, psychological, and environmental deficits that contribute to poor reading skills, allowing educators to accurately identify student issues and design and implement appropriate interventions. Methods for assessing problems in decoding, word and sound recognition, and comprehension are covered in the chapters. Furthermore, chapters emphasize student individuality as readers and learners, ranging from understanding distinctions between difficulties and disabilities to the effects of first-language orthography on second-language learning.
The important features:
- Learning language structure at the word level.
- Reading comprehension and difficulties with reading comprehension
- Reading assessment in second language learners
- Effective word-level reading difficulty prevention and intervention.
- The neurobiology of developmental dyslexia.
Reading Development and Difficulties is an essential resource for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students working in a variety of fields such as child and school psychology, assessment, testing, and evaluation, social work, and special education. The book is regarded as one of the best books on reading comprehension.
