Despite the wealth of literature available on the subject of
dyslexia, there is little that explores the subject beyond a single
theoretical framework. The need for a comprehensive review of the
literature by both researchers and practitioners from different
fields and theoretical backgrounds is the central motivation behind
"Dyslexia, Reading and the Brain," By combining the existing
fragmented and one-sided accounts, Alan Beaton has created a
sourcebook that provides the much-needed basis for a more
integrated and holistic approach to dyslexia.The book is divided
into two sections: the first, The Cognitive Context, outlines the
theoretical context of normal reading development and introduces
the role of phonological awareness and the relation between
dyslexia and IQ. Section two, The Biological Context, provides an
explanation of the genetic background as well as exploring hormonal
theories and the visual aspects of dyslexia.
By including both historical theories and some of the most recent
developments, "Dyslexia, Reading and the Brain" succeeds in
presenting the reader with a balanced and unbiased overview of the
current thinking and achieves a unique breadth and depth of
coverage. The comprehensive coverage and impartial approach mean
that this sourcebook will prove an invaluable resource for anyone
involved in study, research or practice in the fields of reading
and dyslexia.
