Abstract
Contents

This volume presents teachers and educational professionals with the implicit cognitive processes involved in scholastic learning, describing their functions and trying to facilitate comprehension.

Through the literature and the reference text, the book addresses a wide range of cognitive aspects related to the acquisition of basic instrumental skills: reading, writing, spelling, number, and calculations.

Each chapter proposes:

An in-depth look at cognitive and neuropsychological models,
An analysis of the possible difficulties and disturbances tied to a specific ability (from dyslexia to dysorthography, from dysgraphia to dyscalculia)
A part on teaching and learning, with tips and suggestions

The sections include an initial and final summary, a content map, keywords, and a dedicated bibliography.
