Reviews

...provides a useful overview of issues and recent work in the field, introducing some worthwhile British and European work that may be unfamiliar to American readers. The editors have preserved the complexity of a set of challenging and important research questions. -Contemporary Psychology I recommend the volume as a thought-provoking and well-informed source of knowledge about comprehension failure during reading....After reading this book, I still find reading comprehension a fascinating and somewhat obscure topic that defies even the best in the field. -European Journal of Cognitive Psychology The...coherence of this book is due to excellent editing, a very good introduction and the fact that the contributors are engaged in a dialogue rather than an argument....This is an important theoretical book and deserves to be in the libraries of teaching, speech and language therapy, and EP services. -Child Language Teaching and Therapy
