  This book offers advice to teachers on how they can recognize specific learning difficulties and give practical help to children in class. Written in jargon-free language it provides guidelines on the way dyslexic children learn language, literacy and numeracy. It also includes chapters on handwriting, study skills and classroom management, while bearing in mind the demands made on class teachers. Dyslexia, be it mild, moderate or severe, cuts across class, age and intelligence and all schools will have some dyslexic children. An awareness that there are certain teaching methods and practical approaches which are effective with such children is essential for class teachers in both primary and secondary schools.
