Dyslexia in Practice by Janet Townend

Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that hinders the learning of literacy skills. This book provides an important resource for teachers who wish to become competent in the skills required for the assessment, teaching, supporting and counselling of dyslexic people in a variety of settings.

`..One of the strengths of this book is its basis in extensive and in-depth educational practice... In this book one finds many promising practices clearly described. The Editors are to be congratulated for undertaking a difficult but valuable task in what continues to be a controversial field...'
