Children's Reading Problems: Psychology and Education - Softcover

'Every now and again, a book is published which radically redefines an important field. Less often, such a book is well written, easily read and therefore accessible to a wide range of interested readers. Just such a volume is Peter Bryant and Lynette Bradley's Children's Reading Problems ![It] illustrates the power of collaboration between psychology and education when theory is tested in the classroom and results challenge and shape the theory. The book will have a strong impact both on the quality of research and the practice of teaching reading -- all this in less than 170 pages. I cannot recommend it too highly?' -- William Yule, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry 'This is a heartening and illuminating book. The authors, from the Department of Psychology in Oxford, write in a direct and good--humoured style and are aiming to reach parents and other professionals in addition to teachers and psychologists.' -- R. M. Harvey, Education
