Tackling dyslexia / Ann Cooke

Previous ed.: 1993

Includes bibliographical references and index

This book describes an approach to teaching which is designed to take account not only of the problems encountered by children with dyslexia when learning to read, spell and write, but also of the nature of the task that the dyslexic child is trying to master. This second edition has been revised and expanded to include modern approaches to the teaching of phonics, recent ideas about developing reading skills, the revised National Curriculum and the Code of Practice, and developments in IT and software for teaching. Chapters have been added covering early recognition, helping younger children, and difficulties with mathematics. The sections on testing and monitoring work and on materials and games for teaching have also been expanded to form individual chapters
