Remediating Reading Difficulties

Brief and accessible, the sixth edition of Remediating Reading Difficulties defines specific reading skills and problems and then presents practical, easy-to-implement activities and strategies for correcting these problems. Although especially helpful for children with diagnosed difficulties, this quick-reference guide effectively reinforces skills that are useful to all children, including those who are limited English proficient or are speakers of other languages.
