Meeting the Needs of Students with Dyslexia
Massey, J.

What it says on the back of the book It is now recognised that dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that can impact on both literacy and numeracy skills. What is less well known is that the condition can also affect the processing of information, verbal communication and organization across all areas of the curriculum. By exploring theories associated with the dyslexic spectrum, including a substantial section on dyslexia and number, Meeting the Needs of Students with Dyslexia makes available to all those who work with dyslexic students a wide variety of useful strategies to inform their practice. Using instructive and detailed case studies to examine the management of dyslexia in a classroom context, June Massey firmly anchors this accessible and practical account of the condition with students and those who teach and support them. Topics covered include: * Recognizing signs of dyslexia * Assessment * Learning styles * Thinking styles in mathematics * Impact on literacy skills and communication * Strategies for reading and spelling * Study skills * Impact on maths and numeracy * The wider school community Meeting the Needs of Students with Dyslexia is an invaluable resource for helping teachers, SENCOs, learning support assistants and trainee teachers accommodate the needs of their dyslexic students.
