Description
Book SynopsisThe Lifeboat Read & Spell Scheme (also known as 'Launch the Lifeboat to Read and Spell'). A highly-structured, multi-sensory scheme of lessons to help dyslexic children - and adults - to read, write and spell. Book 1 is for the beginner. It introduces the alphabet and distinguishes the vowels and the consonants in a series of individually designed lessons. This stage obviously requires teaching support. Later lessons focus upon the letters i, n, p, s, t, a, b and d, which give rise to blends 'sn', 'sp', 'st', '-nd' and '-nt'. Lessons 6, 8, 9 and 10 introduce the learner to the lesson format, which remains consistent throughout the remaining books.
Trade Review"It gives me great pleasure to commend this resource. I know it to be based on the authors' many years' experience in the teaching of dyslexic students and on their knowledge of what these students are likely to find difficult." (From the Foreword by Professor TR Miles)
