Critics Review: "This book will be a game-changer – not only does it provide essential information for assessing and supporting children with dyslexia, but also strategies to empower teachers to utilise these tools and their own skills to help all children! The book replaces confusion with clarity, and this alone will be welcomed by teachers. Despite many initiatives in dyslexia, there are still too many uncertainties shared by many. Louise Selby provides a superb chronicle of the developments in dyslexia and brings us all up-to-date and dispels many myths in the process. This is a very clear guide for teachers illustrating what the research looks like in practice, including a very useful appendix on interpreting a diagnostic assessment report and a range of intervention approaches to suit all budgets with many of the tools costing very little. The book encompasses a whole-learning approach, including strategies on learning skills to equip the learner to be self-sufficient and independent – beyond school. Without doubt an empowering and essential book!"
