Recenzii

The Dyslexia Assessment is accessible and informative, and suitable for both novice and expert. Its emphasis is that the assessment process is not a one-off event; it is fed into by a comprehensive gathering of information offering a variety of perspectives. The strengths-based approach the authors advocate is a positive one we all want for our dyslexic people in offering solutions for the future. Books abound on this subject but this is the one I prefer.
Anyone involved in supporting students with a specific learning disability to achieve their potential will find this book invaluable. Reid and Guise share their extensive knowledge of dyslexia in order to provide clear guidance for conducting and understanding dyslexia assessment and in developing appropriate intervention. A must read.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the dyslexia assessment process, including why and how we assess, and what we do with the findings. Importantly, it highlights the positive approach of diagnosis, the learner's strengths, and the responsibility to support a positive education outcome for our students.
This is a well-written, very clear and accessible guide to the whole complex area of the assessment of dyslexia, which can be readily, and profitably, used by teachers and lecturers in early years settings, schools and colleges.
This is a useful resource to inform and empower teachers, and to clarify any of the ambiguities and uncertainties that exist around the dyslexia assessment.
This practical and invaluable guide will inform and empower all mainstream and specialist teachers, teaching assistants, SENCOs and psychologists to provide the best support possible for learners with reading, writing or spelling difficulties.
