6. The Cognitive Psychology of Literacy Teaching: Reading, Writing, Spelling, Dyslexia (2008)
Authors: Hugo Kerr
Collection: Research Materials
In this book the author examines the concept of dyslexia. He begins by looking at the cognitive psychology of literacy, that is, how the brain works when it reads, writes or spells. He then looks at some interesting and unusual new ideas such as the powerful effect of affect on learning and performance, the significance of learned helplessness to learning and literacy and the enigma of consciousness in our teaching. In his final chapter, he turns his attention to developmental dyslexia, offering a thorough but sceptical scrutiny of this subject.
