Readings in Educational Psychology
The papers in this volume relate to the nature and conditions of classroom learning, with particular emphasis on the cognitive aspects. They are concerned with the question of concept formation and stress the importance of the teacher's function in ensuring that the child really has assimilated the ideas and not merely the words for the concepts. The role of language is fundamental to this theme, and the interaction of language, thinking and learning is dealt with in the first section of the book. This section also provides a context within which subsequent discussions of classroom learning problems can be viewed. Some problems concerning the elaboration of a general theory of teaching are then examined with particular reference to possible methods of bridging the gap between research and implementation.
The Psychological Assessment of Reading

"This book is indispensable reading for students, policy makers, researchers and professionals in the field of special educational needs and inclusion."--BOOK JACKET.
Learning Without Limits
This book explores ways of teaching that are free from determinist beliefs about ability. In a detailed critique of the practices of ability labelling and ability-focussed teaching, Learning without Limits examines the damage these practices can do to young people, teachers and the curriculum. Drawing on a research project at the University of Cambridge, the book features nine vivid case studies (from Year 1 to Year 11) that describe how teachers have developed alternative practices despite considerable pressure on them and on their schools and classrooms.
Primary Special Needs and the National Curriculum
This practical and accessible book presents guidelines on primary special needs and the national curriculum for primary teachers in mainstream schools. Ann Lewis offers an analysis of the issues and practicalities of implementing the national curriculum at classroom level, showing how it can be used to foster progress for children who find school-based learning difficult. Emphasizing ways in which the national curriculum can be adapted for children with learning difficulties, she offers advice on assessment and identification, whole school planning and planning a broad curriculum. Utilizing case studies and practical examples, the book outlines various strategies teachers might use to give all children access to the national curriculum.

Gardner and Sutherland's Chromosome Abnormalities and Genetic Counseling
Even as classic cytogenetics has given way to molecular karyotyping, and as new deletion and duplication syndromes are identified almost every day, the fundamental role of the genetics clinic remains mostly unchanged. Genetic counselors and medical geneticists explain the "unexplainable," helping families understand why abnormalities occur and whether they're likely to occur again. Chromosome Abnormalities and Genetic Counseling is the genetics professional's definitive guide to navigating both chromosome disorders and the clinical questions of the families they impact. Combining a primer on these disorders with the most current approach to their best clinical approaches, this classic text is more than just a reference; it is a guide to how to think about these disorders, even as our technical understanding of them continues to evolve. Completely updated and still infused with the warmth and voice that have made it essential reading for professionals across medical genetics, this edition of Chromosome Abnormalities and Genetic Counseling represents a leap forward in clinical understanding and communication. It is, as ever, essential reading for the field.
