The book debunks myths and misconceptions and clearly defines dyslexia, shining a light on a different way of thinking and learning. It then explores metacognition, working memory and dyslexia across the curriculum, with a focus on core subjects and cross-curricular literacy as students transition to secondary school and work towards exams. Drawing on the experience of dyslexic learners themselves, the book equips teachers with strategies for high-quality teaching that will benefit all. All About Dyslexia includes:
● Chapters that are easy to dip in and out of, with top tips and signposting to further resources and research.
● A wealth of up-to-date, evidence-based strategies for everyday practice at the coalface, including ‘quick wins’ which provide prep-free ideas for planning that can be implemented straight away.
● The voices of learners with dyslexia, parents and practitioners woven throughout, offering an important insight into ‘how I do things differently’.
● An overview of different interventions and assistive technology with printable resources for use in the classroom.
● Ways to improve study skills and support dyslexic learners with exam preparation, including information on available access arrangements for dyslexia.
This easy-to-read book focuses on difference rather than deficit and is a valuable resource to empower secondary educators, demystifying dyslexia and providing the strategies needed to feel confident meeting learners’ needs. It will be essential reading for all secondary school educators, SENCOs and parents who are supporting children and young people with specific learning difficulties.
