This third edition of this bestselling book for teachers contains new material on early identification and intervention. This third edition of Gavin Reid's popular book for non-specialist teachers has been thoroughly revised throughout and supplemented with additional material to reinforce the link between theory and practice. "Dyslexia" is a comprehensive overview of the field, providing more than just a quick fix to immediate difficulties by introducing the evidence base for why particular approaches may be effective. The topics include reading, spelling, creative writing, study skills, differentiation, identification of dyslexia, individual learning styles, the role of parents and policy and provision for dyslexia. A concluding section provides information on additional support and resources for use by teachers. Throughout, the book emphasises that approaches suitable for students with dyslexia will also benefit the whole class, building upon the teacher's repertoire and empowering them to be better teachers.
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 over 50 countries worldwide.
