This third edition of this bestselling book for teachers contains new material on early identification and intervention.
A teacher and university lecturer for many years, Dr Gavin Reid is an Educational Psychologist in Vancouver, Canada, a consultant with the Center for Child Evaluation and Teaching (CCET) in Kuwait, and a Director of the Red Rose School for Children with Dyslexia in Lancashire, UK. He is a prolific author, international consultant and trainer and has held seminars on effective learning in more than 50 countries worldwide.
Praise for the second edition: ‘The target audience for this book
is the non-specialist and, given the paucity of coverage on
SEN/dyslexia in most initial teacher training programmes, this is
likely to be a wide audience...Reid discusses the use of writing
frames which are applicable across the curriculum and which can be
modified for all learners. 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.'SPECIAL
magazine
The excellent strategies provided throughout the book to support
aspects of educational achievement are written in a manner that
makes this book an invaluable source of reference for the classroom
teacher.
