OverviewThis third edition of Gavin Reid's popular book for non-specialist teachers has been thoroughly revised throughout and supplemented with additional material to reinforce the link between theory and practice. Dyslexia is a comprehensive overview of the field, providing more than just a quick fix to immediate difficulties by introducing the evidence base for why particular approaches may be effective. Topics include reading, spelling, creative writing, study skills, differentiation, identification of dyslexia, individual learning styles, the role of parents and policy and provision for dyslexia. A concluding section provides information on additional support and resources for use by teachers.

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.'
