{"product_id":"dyslexia-in-the-secondary-school-isbn-9781861562722","title":"Dyslexia in the Secondary School","description":"This book explains why dyslexic students frequently underachieve and demonstrates that adjustments in teaching and learning methods can make all the difference, provided that underlying problems are identified. After reading 'Dyslexia in Secondary School,' teachers will be able to identify children with specific learning problems and know better how to help them with their school work. Examples are based on the curriculum and used to show how to advise students on essay-writing, note taking, memorising vocabulary and reading to remember. Parents and specialist teachers will find that the book helps them translate educational psychologists' theory into practical action. The students themselves will be encouraged to look carefully at how they learn, and, using their strengths rather than their weaknesses, try out alternative strategies. This book contains diagrams, mind maps,and worksheets as well as many ideas for teachers.Focusing as it does on the way we learn, 'Dyslexia in Secondary School' will interest all teachers and students - not just those with specific learning difficulties. \u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowlegements xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReading 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMind-mapping 43\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComputers 71\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNote-Taking 117\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEssay Writing 153\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLanguages 187\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRevision 231\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSummaries 279\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorksheet Section 299\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReference and resources 329\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 331\u003c\/p\u003e \"...this is one of the best books ever produced on the subject of dyslexia.\" (The Teacher, 19th July 2005)  \u003cp\u003eEdited by \u003cstrong\u003eMorag Hunter-Carsch\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Leicester. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdited by \u003cstrong\u003eMargaret Herrington\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Nottingham.
