Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This book is likely to be found soon on all recommended reading lists for graduate and postgraduate students pursuing studies in special and inclusive education. It is also relevant reading for students undertaking courses in the teaching of reading and mathematics. ... brings together under one cover the diverse theories, perspectives and studies that have hitherto been confined to discipline-specific texts and professional journals. ... the book has probably achieved its purpose in advancing our understanding of issues surrounding learning difficulties in literacy and numeracy." (Peter Westwood, Australian Journal of Learning Difficulties, Vol. 17 (1), May, 2012)
