"Supporting Children with Dyslexia 2nd Edition focuses on the practical difficulties facing dyslexic pupils every day in every classroom. It provides teachers and parents with strategies to support dyslexic children and enable them to accesss the curriculum with a minimum of fuss and upheaval." "The pupil's perspective is also considered with a section devoted to encouraging children to be positive about themselves, develop coping strategies and become independent learners. The emphasis is on encouraging independence, while providing just enough support to ensure success." "This 2nd edition has been expanded and updated to cover recent legislation and current trends, with more explanation on dyslexia (in particular, visual dyslexia and dyscalculia), current views on learning strategies, DfES guidance on literacy and the three 'waves' of intervention, time management, reference to newly produced National Primary Strategy materials to support CPD training, and the use of new classroom technology."--Jacket.
