Reviews

This impressive volume provides us with the most up-to-date research available on a disorder that affects millions....it is a very good book, and if the science it reports leads to improved interventions that help mitigate dyslexia (and perhaps also literacy), that will be a very good thing. - PsycCRITIQUES This impressive volume provides us with the most up-to-date research available on a disorder that affects millions....it is a very good book, and if the science it reports leads to improved interventions that help mitigate dyslexia (and perhaps also literacy), that will be a very good thing. - PsycCRITIQUES
