Summary:

This text aims to help teachers and parents to teach dyslexic children reading and spelling. It can be used either as a step-by-step teaching programme or as a reference resource. Two photocopiable charts representing the main spelling patterns and rules of English are the focus of the teaching scheme. Emphasis is placed on the phonic method. Word lists and dictation sentences are given; games and activities are suggested; and photocopiable sheets of letter cards and alphabet pictures are included.
