This bestselling book for teaching literacy to children and young people aged 4–16 years with dyslexia and other specific literacy difficulties has been fully updated for its third edition.
Providing a structured multi-sensory programme, ‘Conquering Literacy’, that includes placement tests, well-established strategies and examples of lesson planning, teaching activities, and reading, spelling and literacy concept cards, this book is an essential practical resource for teachers.
This new edition includes:
-
an additional section for learners who need an individualised, structured programme at an advanced stage (Stage II);
-
a section on planning shorter, targeted interventions for learners with a particular difficulty e.g. spelling, revising;
-
three new chapters on teaching reading, spelling and writing within mainstream classrooms using strategies which are successful with learners with dyslexia
-
downloadable teaching resources available from the companion website.
There are chapters on subjects that practitioners may find particularly interesting, such as ‘Dyslexia and Learners for whom English is an Additional Language’, and ‘The Role of Memory in Acquiring Literacy Skills’ - Jan Beechey
