This book clearly provides vital information about dyslexia, literacy and Inclusion. It captured to a great extent knowledge and understanding individuals will need to develop to be able to support children with dyslexia in a range of childcare provisions.

A really useful book for my Early Years students as there are various strategies and methods which are child centred. The exercises and weblinks are also useful and the case studies provide good examples.

I will recommend this book for my Foundation Degree in Educational Support students. It provides much more than an understanding of dyslexia as the focus is on the needs of children and real practical strategies, informed by research, which my working students (TAs) will find extremely useful both in their own practice and in their coursework. The combination of literacy development and inclusion makes the book adaptable to other inclusive contexts too. There are clear, well-presented examples. The only additions I would make are some visual pictures and tables which would reinforce the book's own message of accessibility and this seems to be a surprising omission in a book about dyslexia.

This book provides a comprehensive discussion of the impact of dyslexia on the individual and will help practitioners at all levels to support learners.

A useful book that looks to contemporary challenges including the training of teachers within school rather than in HEIs. A big problem in getting the right training in this economic environment.

This text realy brings the subject of dyslexia up to date.

It links the topic to latest legal and policy developments and considers support for children with dyslexia within the wider themes of inclusive education, in particular child-centered planning.

I will have no hesitation in recommending this text to my students
