found in the literature on reading. It discusses the need for a
consistent and integrated approach to reading comprehension.
The book details the complex nature of reading comprehension
difficulties and the problems related to articulating clear
definitions of various learning difficulties and the associated
problems with assessment and diagnosis. It introduces a model for
classifying reading comprehension based on the "Simple View of
Reading." The book also focuses on recent conceptualisations of
working memory and its function in regard to the complex task of
reading and comprehension. It gives an explanation as to why
reading comprehension is difficult for some children with a number
of reading disabilities such as ADHD, autism, and language
difficulties and dyslexia.
The book then discusses and develops an understanding of
comprehension at the word and discourse levels. It details some
evidence-based reading comprehension methods that have been
identified as being effective for children with learning
difficulties.
