Recensioner i media

The book is easy to read, with lots of helpful tables and diagrams. The strategies offered are simple enough to be incorporated with ease into a mainstream primary classroom. Its relevance for educational psychologists lies as introductory reading and as a resource to recommend to parents or teachers who have particular concern or interest in this area. I consider it an excellent book for this purpose!
