Dyslexia by Gavin Reid
Including material on early identification and intervention, this title offers non-specialist teachers material to reinforce the link between theory and practice. It features topics such as: reading, spelling, creative writing, study skills, differentiation, identification of dyslexia, the role of parents and policy and provision for dyslexia.
"'The target audience for this book is the non-specialist and, given the paucity of coverage on SEN/dyslexia in most initial teacher training programmes, this is likely to be a wide audience..Reid discusses the use of writing frames which are applicable across the curriculum and which can be modified for all learners. Many of these strategies can be used for all children, not just those identified as dyslexic and this is a real strength of this approach. Reid makes the case that effective support for dyslexics does not require the teacher to create activities which are only appropriate for individual teaching but are helpful for all learners...The layout of the book is clear, and a brief summary is provided at the end of each chapter.'
