Dyslexia and Learning Style: A Practitioner's Handbook (Dyslexia Series (Whurr))

By Tilly Mortimore

Book Overview

Recent research into both dyslexia and learning styles shows that adapting the way teachers teach to suit the individual ways in which students learn can maximize success for all students, dyslexic and non-dyslexic. The practical teaching suggestions contained in this book are based upon research findings. The first section provides an overview of recent research in two key areas: dyslexia and the dyslexia experience, and the major learning styles and the role they play in successful learning. The second section provides a range of ways to diagnose a learning style, techiniques to help students absorb, process and create responses to information across the curriculum, practical strategies to help teachers adapt material to suit the different styles encountered in every classroom, and activities to help students develop a more flexible approach to learning.
