Learning Disabilities: From Identification to Intervention

by Jack M. Fletcher, G. Reid Lyon, Lynn S. Fuchs

Presenting major advances in understanding learning disabilities (LDs) and describing effective educational practices, this authoritative volume has been significantly revised and expanded with more than 70% new material. Foremost LD experts identify effective principles of assessment and instruction within the framework of multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS). With a focus on what works in the classroom, the book explores the full range of reading, mathematics, and writing disabilities. It synthesizes knowledge from neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and special and general education. Illustrations include eight color plates. As a special supplement, a chapter on the history of the LD field from the first edition is provided at the companion website.

[خالد الديحاني · Rating 4 out of 5]

في البداية لم اجد عنوان الكتاب في اللغة العربية مما حداني الى استخدام العنوان الاصل
وقام مشروع كلمة بترجمته
وكما هي العادة سأقوم بتفييم الكتاب شكلاً ومضموناً بإيجاز ما استطعت

الشكل
١- طباعة الكتاب فاخرة جداً والورق جميل
ولكن يعيبة ان الصور التي نقلت من الاصل غير واضحة
٢- الترجمة رائعة وواضحة

المضمون
١- الكتاب تخصصي مميز فمستوى اللغة جميل وسهل حتى لغير المتخصصين من جهة ويظهر فيه الجهد الجبار لمؤلفي الكتاب من جهة اخرى
٢- عدد المؤلفين ٤
٣- عدد االمراجع ضخم جداً
٤- يجمع الكتاب بين النظرية والتطبيق وبين المرض والعلاج وبين المشاكل والحلول بطريقة اكاديمية مننهجة رائعة جداً

في الختام انصح بقراءة الكتاب لمن هم يميلون لهذا النوع او الصنف من الكتب

Have these folks ever worked with a learning-disabled student? If so, it certainly doesn't show in their writing. This book was a drudgery; truly a painful read.

A background in neuropsychology is helpful. Good read. Includes information on Reading Fluency.
