Interesting perspectives on some of the key issues, especially the way in which a child's background affects learning.

Good supplement for teacher trainees and practising teachers. This book covers information about dyslexia and how it affects individuals and their studies. Most importantly this book provides lots of helpful examples and strategies to include in your own practice.

This book clearly provides vital information about dyslexia, literacy and Inclusion. It captured to a great extent knowledge and understanding individuals will need to develop to be able to support children with dyslexia in a range of childcare provisions.

A really useful book for my Early Years students as there are various strategies and methods which are child centred. The exercises and weblinks are also useful and the case studies provide good examples.

I will recommend this book for my Foundation Degree in Educational Support students. It provides much more than an understanding of dyslexia as the focus is on the needs of children and real practical strategies, informed by research, which my working students (TAs) will find extremely useful both in their own practice and in their coursework. The combination of literacy development and inclusion makes the book adaptable to other inclusive contexts too. There are clear, well-presented examples. The only additions I would make are some visual pictures and tables which would reinforce the book's own message of accessibility and this seems to be a surprising omission in a book about dyslexia.
