More than 42 million Americans are functionally illiterate; they can’t follow the directions on a can of soup. Millions of students leave grade school with insufficient reading skills to adequately do their work and learn. How and why did this happen? And what does this say about the way we are educating our children?

Dr. Claire Rubman, a cognitive development psychologist and college professor, attempts to address those issues and provide solutions in her new book, This May Be Difficult to Read, which was awarded the 2023 National Parenting Product Award and a gold-level Mom’s Choice Award.

She provided more insight in this recent author interview with BookTrib. Watch the full interview here on the BookTrib Facebook page.
