Overcoming Dyslexia

This practical set of resources has been written for the busy teacher who wants to use a multisensory approach to overcoming literacy difficulties in the classroom. The fully photocopiable materials can be used on their own or in conjunction with the highly successful handbook ' Overcoming Dyslexia' (2nd ed., Hilary Broomfield and Margaret Combley) on which they are based. The wide range of activities, suitable for learners of all ages can be used during the literacy hour or specialised support lessons. They are also suitable for learning support assistants under the guidance of a teacher.
