This concise, accessible guide bridges the gap between scientific research and practical application, offering parents and professionals in educational and psychological settings a clear understanding of reading comprehension difficulties in children and adolescents.

Drawing on evidence-based approaches, the book explores the fundamental nature of reading comprehension and its critical role in everyday life, key theoretical models explaining how comprehension develops and functions, and why some children with adequate decoding skills still struggle to understand texts. It presents early intervention strategies for preschoolers and pre-readers, metacognitive techniques and strategic instruction methods, and practical approaches for integrating comprehension into broader study skills.

Whether you're supporting a child or an adolescent who finds reading challenging, or seeking to enhance comprehension, this guide equips you with actionable strategies to identify comprehension problems early and implement effective techniques at home and in school, ultimately fostering understanding, achievement, and a lifelong love of reading.
