Summary:

"The author of this book argues that spelling and writing need to be
given more consideration in teaching and remedial settings especially
if dyslexic pupils are to be helped back up to grade level, and other
pupils are to make more effective, quicker progress. This book helps
teachers and student teachers to understand the valuable contribution
spelling and handwriting make to literacy development in primary and
secondary schools, and shows them how to overcome existing barriers
to learning." "This book will be of interest to teachers and teacher
educators interested in literacy, dyslexia and
dyspraxia/developmental coordination difficulties. Undergraduate and
postgraduate students in education and inclusion will also find much
here of interest."--BOOK JACKET.
