Reading Development and Difficulties is a comprehensive and balanced introduction to the development of the two core aspects of reading: good word reading skills and the ability to extract the overall meaning of a text.

- Accessibly written for students and professionals with no previous background in reading development or reading difficulties
- Provides a detailed examination of the specific problems that underlie reading difficulties
Reviews:
This is a scholarly textbook which should become essential reading for psychologists, educationalists and speech and language therapists. Kate Cain has an ability to present very complex issues with a degree of clarity that ensures the reader comes to a deep understanding of the issues and quality of the scientific evidence that she presents for analysis.”
- Professor Rhona Stainthorp, Institute of Education, University of Reading
'Kate Cain’s valuable account of the psychology of learning to read is clear, incisive and always interesting. It tells us how children learn to decipher single words and to read whole sentences, and also how they are eventually able to co-ordinate the meanings of several, different sentences in order to understand quite complicated texts.'
- Peter Bryant, Senior Research Fellow, Department of Education, Oxford University
