Reviews

...well grounded and cohesive in its approach to dyslexia and reading acquisition. The book is highly recommended to readers with a solid grounding in psycholinguistics, neuropsychology, and statistics or to those readers who are highly motivated and have several good domain-specific dictionaries. The information is well worth the time it takes to understand. -Contemporary Psychology Many chapters...stand alone as excellent reviews. The book offers much to students of psychology and education at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate levels and is essential reading for practitioners in the field. -British Journal of Educational Psychology
