Difficoltà di comprensione testuale. Strategie metacognitive per l’intervento educativo

Le difficoltà di comprensione del testo rappresentano uno dei principali fattori responsabili dell’insuccesso scolastico, e presentano forti correlazioni con i Disturbi dell’Apprendimento. La loro elevata diffusione nella popolazione scolastica impone la ricerca di interventi efficaci per rispondere alle esigenze educative degli allievi con deficit di comprensione.
