Multiple perspectives on difficulties in learningliteracy and numeracy

There are many approaches to researching the difficulties in learning that students experience in the key areas of literacy and numeracy. This book seeks to advance understanding of these difficulties and the interventions that have been used to improve outcomes. The book will address the sometimes complementary and sometimes contradictory results, and generate new approaches to understanding and serving students with difficulties in literacy and numeracy. The book represents a departure from conventional wisdom as most scholars and graduate students draw upon ideas from only one of the three domains focal in the book and usually from one single or dominant theoretical frame. Typically, readers will affiliate with reading education, mathematics education, or learning disabilities and belong to one of the corresponding professional associations such as IRA, NCTM, or CLD. This book’s scope will open a scholarly forum for engaging readers with a familiarity with one of these domains while providing insight into the others on offer in the book. Focusses at the intersection of literacy education, numeracy education and learning disabilities traditionally these have tended to be addressed separately by researchers and policy makers Draws upon diverse theoretical perspectives in the common goal of improved learning especially for students who are struggling to achieve expected standards
