Varieties of Deficiency in the Reading Process

Vernon, Magdalen D.

Harvard Educational Review, 47, 3, 396-410, 77

Synthesizing a diverse group of studies, author argues that reading disability is not a unitary phenomenon but can result from deficiencies in different psychological processes. Based on the points at which an individual's reading breaks down, she presents a fourfold classifications scheme capable of categorizing all poor readers. (Editor/RK)
