The Classroom Teacher’s Guide to Supporting Students with Dyslexia

(And Helping All Readers Along the Way)

About this book

What is dyslexia? Is it inherited? How is it assessed? And how do I help my classroom students who have it?

If you're a busy teacher in need of concise answers to important questions about dyslexia, this guide is for you! Using an accessible question-and-answer format, author and educator Mark Weakland gives teachers up-to-date information on a variety of "need to know" dyslexia topics, including:

· what dyslexia is and isn't (common misconceptions),

· the traits and characteristics of students who have dyslexia,

· assessments used to screen for and possibly assess dyslexia,

· tips for navigating 504 and IEP meetings,

· use-tomorrow classroom modifications and adaptations that help your students with dyslexia feel more comfortable and less stressed.

With direct talk grounded in current research alongside important activities, strategies, materials, and teaching techniques that are especially effective for teaching reading, writing, and spelling to students with dyslexia, this compact book explicitly connects your biggest questions about dyslexia to general classroom practices that effectively teach all students to read, write, and spell!
