A great basic overview of dyslexia for people of all ages. Gives a good insight to students on placement and to myself as a teaching professional. Really great photocopy-able resources. Would recommend!
great book for supporting learners. Useful for one to one support and class support
This book is very useful and full of lots of practical advice for helping students with dyslexia. A really useful book.
Fantastic read and it helps those teachers understand dyslexia and how to support their students to their full achievement
Although the information was informatively relevant, the time allowance for dealing with non-essential subjects was reduced and we had to simply offer the students the option to elect this topic rather than include it in the core curriculum. The strategies are excellently presented, the information clear and concise, and although we didn't ultimately use the resource or offer the module, we still recommend the book as a valuable tool when a student individually elects to study Support.
An excellent resource for practitioners and for delivering CPD. Very practical, good ideas and each chapter provides the children’s voices too.
