The author interprets reading difficulties and dyslexia in terms of PASS (Planning-Attention-Simultaneous-Successive) processes, which are the four main processes of knowing and thinking that replace the traditional views of IQ and redefine intelligence. The PASS theory is used to explain reading problems that are not explained by a traditional IQ assessment.
