Table of ContentsReviewsReading Difficulties and Dyslexia, a timely publication of an important area of research and intervention in psychology and education. The author is an excellent writer. With simplicity and clarity in expression of a rather very technical concept: dyslexia from a neurocognitive perspective, the author is accessible to readers of different levels of expertise. An important concept introduced in the revised version of the book is the significance of cultural learning and scaffolding in intervention. This book is extremely useful for students, researchers, educators and practitioners interested in understanding dyslexia and its intervention. -- Nandita Babu, The second edition of Reading Difficulties and Dyslexia: An Interpretation for Teachers offers a fresh look at an exciting field of research by providing teacher-friendly information on what dyslexia is, how we can assess reading, and what can we do for children who have reading difficulties. J.P. Das, a seasoned author and researcher, has given us a book that brings research on reading difficulties into classrooms and serves as a reminder that intervention practices are effective when they are driven by theory. -- George K.
