This book will provide the class teacher with a straightforward introduction to dyslexia. The authors highlight methods of identification of dyslexia within the classroom context and provide examples of how dyslexia can be dealt with. It is concise and written with the needs of the busy practitioner in mind.

There are sections on learning styles and thinking skills as well as on policy and provision. The book serves as an introduction to the BDA/Fulton series on dyslexia. Whilst the emphasis is on supporting the dyslexic student in the classroom context, there are also sections on staff development and a brief introduction to current research into the background of dyslexia.
