Language Disorders from Infancy Through Adolescence: Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing, and Communicating Review
First, this is a great book. It is well written and easy to read. Rhea Paul is just fantastic. My only negative about this book (and it is a big one) is that the Kindle edition is terrible. It uses location, not page numbers. The table of contents is vague (only gives the chapter, not the points within each chapter), meaning if you are looking for something, you have to start at the chapter and scroll through it to find what you want. I buy the kindle editions of books whenever I can because I like the speed at which I can find things. For this book, I had to buy the book edition as well. This was a waste of money. DO NOT BUY THE KINDLE EDITION.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Language Disorders from Infancy Through Adolescence: Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing, and Communicating" are high quality item.
