The Little Book of Dyslexia: Both Sides of the Classroom

by Joe Beech, Ian Gilbert (Foreword)

The Little Book of Dyslexia references both personal experience and current applied research and findings in order to highlight issues faced by people with dyslexia. It looks at a number of strategies and lesson ideas which can be used both inside and outside the classroom to help students with dyslexia and specific learning difficulties. It also lists various resources which can be used alongside these strategies to create a successful learning environment for those with dyslexia. The book progresses through the various challenges that are faced at different age ranges, and support needed, starting with the youngest in early years, including some of the early signs you may see with dyslexia, moving up through primary and secondary school and finally onto higher education and university and being a student teacher. An outstanding guide for students, teachers, Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCO's) and parents.

This was interesting and I can see how it could be useful. It was nice to read about someone with very similar experiences to mine. However, I only gave it three stars because as other people have mentioned there was nothing particularly new in it,

Very good read to see how someone deals with dyslexia and how you can help children with dyslexia in the classroom.

Offers overview of dyslexia, personal anecdotes and teaching tips.
