The book Teaching Strategies to Children with Learning Difficulties deals with the instruction of cognitive and metacognitive strategies to children with learning difficulties. The authors Robert Reid, Torri Ortiz Lienemann, and Jessica L. Hagaman utilize the theoretical background of Karen Harris's well-known Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) model and propose practical applications for effective teaching of these strategies by educators.

The book fills a significant gap regarding how these strategies can be successfully taught in practice with a pedagogically valid model, as the process of strategy instruction is presented through real-world examples.

This edition extensively references working memory, providing information on Response to Intervention, as well as handwriting and spelling. Additionally, it includes information on applying the model to students with ADHD.

The book is aimed at general and special education teachers, psychologists, and undergraduate and graduate students in psychology and education departments.
