Trade Review
Barbara Pavey, Associate Lecturer for the dyslexia programme at Institute of Education (IOE)
"The book is a useful practitioner-based text from a reputable and experienced team."
"One of the strengths of the new book is the power of the specialized knowledge and experience of the team of authors. Another is the way this is translated into resources."
Lorraine Petersen, Educational Consultant – Former CEO of nasen
"I think the book is well designed – easy to read – busy teachers and support staff can access information easily."
"I think that the proposed book sets out all the relevant information in a very easy to read way and accessible for all teachers, giving just the right amount of content. Font size and layout are also very good.
This is also one book in a series about a number of different needs and therefore should not just be seen as a stand-alone book. I would hope that schools will buy the full set once they are published."
Pippa Whittaker, CL for Inclusion, City Academy Bristol; member of nasen Publications Advisory Board
"The current book is one of the most accessible dyslexia titles in the field. It is starting to look slightly outdated in terms of style, and is in urgent need of updating with regard to statutory changes in the field since it was published in 2004."
"This is still my ‘go to’ book for when colleagues (eg subject teachers etc) need further information about a specific aspect of dyslexia. I photocopy key pages to talk through with them and then leave the sheets with them for further reference."
