All About Dyslexia is an accessible and informative guide for primary school teachers, designed to increase their understanding of dyslexia and enhance their toolkit with practical, adaptable strategies to support learners with dyslexia and specific learning difficulties in their setting.
The book debunks myths and misconceptions and clearly defines dyslexia, shining a light on a different way of thinking and learning. It then looks at metacognition and dyslexia across the curriculum, with a focus on grounding literacy skills and supporting the foundations of reading. Drawing on the experience of the learners themselves, the book equips teachers with strategies for high-quality teaching that will benefit all learners, not just those with dyslexia. All About Dyslexia includes:
-
- Chapters that are easy to dip in and out of, with top tips and signposting to further resources and research.
-
- A wealth of up-to-date, evidence-based, practical strategies for everyday practice at the coalface, including ‘quick wins’ which provide easy, prep-free ideas for planning that can be implemented straight away.
-
- The voices of learners with dyslexia, parents and practitioners woven throughout, offering an important insight into ‘how I do things differently’.
-
- An overview of different interventions, assistive technology and dyslexia-friendly environments with printable resources for use in the classroom.
-
- Ways to collaborate effectively with parents and carers to best support dyslexic learners’ progress.
This easy-to-read book focuses on difference rather than deficit and is a valuable resource to empower primary educators, demystifying dyslexia and providing the strategies needed to feel confident meeting learners’ needs. It will be essential reading for all primary school educators, SENCOs and parents who are supporting children with specific learning difficulties.
This title has been printed on dyslexia-friendly paper.
