The Study of Dyslexia by Martin Turner
In long-ago 1999, the Dyslexia Institute and Plenum Press conceived a plan for two books which would gather the best of current knowledge and practice in dyslexia studies.
From reviews of Dyslexia in Practice: A Guide for Teachers:
`The authors in this book represent an important group of professionals whose work is central to the understanding, identification and alleviation of dyslexia in the everyday practice of teachers in various settings...In this book one finds many promising practices clearly described. The editors are to be congratulated...it can help those interested and involved in finding, using and developing effective practices for pupils with dyslexia.'
Peter D. Pumfrey, Emeritus Professor of Education, University of Manchester in The Psychology of Education Review, 26:1 (2002)
`This book enables teachers to view the bigger picture...the book complements their teaching to ensure learning is accessible to everyone.'
Liz Griffiths, BDA, Buttle Trust Action Research Group in Dyslexia Contact, 20:2 (May 2001)
`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. It promises to reach many teachers and in turn, their students and families.'
Margaret J. Snowling, University of York, UK
