Research has shown that early identification and intervention is crucial and can in fact minimise, and may even prevent, the challenges of dyslexia from becoming too detrimental at later stages of education. This book offers both research insights and practical guidance for teachers working in Early Years settings on how to create resource materials that would be suitable for the development of children with dyslexia.
 
Beginning with a contextual note on the key difficulties faced by children at risk of dyslexia, the book takes the reader through the processes of identification and diagnosis, before offering ideas on how to tailor classroom materials for these students. The book's resource materials are designed to target areas such as reading, spelling, numeracy, language skills, social and emotional development, and problem solving skills.
 
Preface and Acknowledgments. 1. Dyslexia, Pre-school and the Early Years: The Context. 2. Identifying learning needs. 3. Intervention approaches - meeting individual needs. 4. Intervention approaches - meeting classroom needs. 5. Emotional and social issues and Motivation. 6. Memory and Information Processing. 7. Specific Learning Difficulties. 8. Issues and Considerations. 9. Concluding Comments, Resources and Practical Strategies. Appendix 1. Resources Grid. Appendix 2. Further Contacts. Glossary. References. Index.
As the parent of a dyslexic child and a headteacher and SENCo for 17 years, I was impressed by the breadth and depth of this book. It is both practical and well researched. The emphasis on partnership with parents and providing intervention from the sound foundations of play-based early years pedagogy creates a book for practitioners, parents and those working with children who display a range of dyslexic tendencies.
