of books about dyslexia.

cant obviously read them all, nor do i have the resources at hand to nuy them all.

beginning to work with children with dyslexia n it would be good to know more about what it is. and how i can best support.

feels very scary sometimes that i really have little knowledge.

For those of you who support such children what has helped you the most?

I like this one, REMOVING DYSLEXIA AS A BARRIER TO ACHIEVEMENT, The Dyslexia Friendly Schools Toolkit by Neil Mackay

Have you tried your local library? Mine stock quite a few different types and they will also get them in for you. A lot cheaper Wink

Take a list or maybe like me your library has an internet site where you can check what they have.

Thank you for that.

I want one to keep - so shall have a browse and order one through the bookshop here.

It just amazes me that at school they give me these children to work with and really i have no real idea...been given the basics i guess and left to get on with it. seems to be the norm round here!

i bookmarked the The Dyselxia site awhile back but wanted to know what you ppl use for reference.
