Description

"This book is a really practical, hands-on guide packed with a wealth of advice on strategies and "things to try" reflecting the authors' extensive experience. If you want to make effective, inclusive dyslexia-friendly classrooms a reality rather than an aspiration, this book is for you." - Dr John P. Rack, Head of Research and Development, Dyslexia Action

In this toolkit the authors provide you with the foundations for making your setting and your teaching style dyslexia-friendly. There is a general overview of the principles and practices required, and what the dyslexia-aware teacher needs to bear in mind.

  • dyslexia and phonics
  • dyslexia and English as an Additional Language
  • dyslexia and mathematics

The book offers you ideas and advice, and will ensure you feel confident you are doing the right things to help overcome barriers to learning.
