What Reading Research Tells Us About Children With Diverse Learning Needs: Bases and Basics

by Deborah C. Simmons (Editor), Edward J. Kameenui (Editor)

Overview

The purpose of this book is to communicate findings of a research synthesis investigating the bases of reading failure and the curricular and instructional basics to help guide the design and advancement of children's reading performance. The synthesis—completed by the National Center to Improve the Tools of Educators (NCITE) and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs—was conducted as part of NCITE's mission to improve the quality of educational tools that largely shape practice in American schools.
