Mary Kelly, The British Journal of Special Education Support for Learning, Vol.34, No.2, 2007--Sanford Lakoff An enterprising and user-friendly book that will be well received by its intended audience - classroom teachers in mainstream schools and SENCOs. This book supports, and in some cases (the Lone Rangers) will supplant, an awareness-level course in dyslexia. It guides the reader through current and changing systems and practices in the maintained sector, and succeeds in its primary aim to provide practical resources for support and intervention.
