- Summary:
- Kamhi (communication sciences and disorders, U. of North Carolina at Greensboro) and Catts (speech-language-hearing sciences and disorders, U. of Kansas) present a 10-chapter textbook in which US researchers in speech-language-hearing sciences and disorders, communication sciences disorders, and reading discuss the definition, identification, causes, assessment, and treatment of reading and writing disorders for teachers and speech-language pathologists. This edition has new chapters on reading comprehension and spelling; updated and consolidated information on defining and classifying reading disabilities in a new chapter; expanded information on response to intervention and subgroups of poor readers; new topics like comprehension development, auditory processing deficits and poor comprehenders, development of literate vocabulary and complex syntactic structures, and cognitive/linguistic skills in writing; and an updated chapter on learning to write that incorporates how to write genre-specific texts.
