Description
Supporting Students with Dyslexia in Secondary Schools: A Practical Guide for Teachers. This highly practical book provides guidance for school managers and subject teachers on teaching and learning students with dyslexia within the mainstream secondary curriculum. It highlights the barriers to learning experienced by dyslexic learners and offers advice on removing or minimising these barriers, along with strategies for supporting learning and raising attainment. The book covers essential topics such as identifying possible barriers to learning, developing support strategies, and assessing dyslexia that may be masked by high ability or divergent behaviour. Case studies illustrate the impact of dyslexia on students in secondary school, helping teachers understand how this condition can sometimes be mistaken for other difficulties.
