This book provides an overview of current research on the
development of reading skills as well as practices to assist
educational professionals with assessment, prevention, and
intervention for students with reading difficulties. The book
reviews the Componential Model of Reading (CMR) and provides
assessment techniques, instructional recommendations, and
application models. It pinpoints specific cognitive, psychological,
and environmental deficits contributing to low reading skills, so
educators can accurately identify student problems and design and
implement appropriate interventions. Chapters offer methods for
assessing problems in decoding, word and sound recognition, and
comprehension. In addition, chapters emphasize the recognition of
student individuality as readers and learners, from understanding
distinctions between difficulties and disabilities to the effects
of first-language orthography on second-language learning. Topics
featured in this book include: Learning the structure of language
at the word level. Reading comprehension and reading comprehension
difficulties Assessing reading in second language learners.
Effective prevention and intervention for word-level reading
difficulties. The neurobiological nature of developmental dyslexia.
Reading Development and Difficulties is a must-have resource for
researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in varied fields,
including child and school psychology; assessment, testing, and
evaluation; social work; and special education. "I think the book
has the potential to be a game changer. It will certainly challenge
the expectations of policy makers, not to mention the teachers of
beginning readers. These chapters will enhance the knowledge base
of those in our schools who are charged with the lofty task of
assuring that children have the best possible opportunities to
acquire the skill of reading." Sir Jim Rose Chair and author of
Independent Review of the Teaching of Early Reading: Final Report
(2006)
