My fault - I totally missed the age range. I work with adults so although I can't recommend it, I would like to keep it as a resource should the need arise in the future.
Reccomend to all staff for CPD
Whole-school and whole-class strategies included in every chapter which is a very useful step; well structured chapters full of useful ideas; overall useful for a wide range of educational and other staff working in inclusive primary school education
most useful - particularly for the new PGCert & MA in Supporting Older Children & Young People with Dyslexia / SpLDs which is being validated to run from September - on the reading list as a core text.
I found this to be a really valuable text for teachers and lecturers alike.

A great book for teachers supporting those with dyslexia.
