Dyslexia

A Practitioner's Handbook

Current research and intervention strategies for dyslexia practitioners across settings

Dyslexia: A Practitioner's Handbook, now in its Sixth Edition, delivers comprehensive coverage of assessment, intervention, and support strategies for practitioners working with dyslexic learners. Written by Dr. Gavin Reid, author of 40 books in the field, this extensively updated edition addresses recent changes in government policies, education authority initiatives, and advocacy efforts that have reshaped dyslexia practice.

This edition provides detailed analyses of both inclusive and specialized intervention approaches, covering reading, spelling, and written work challenges with practical solutions. The handbook addresses assessment approaches and barriers to learning, learning skills across the age range from early years through higher education and adults, and emotional aspects of dyslexia. Cultural, social, and linguistic perspectives receive thorough treatment alongside neurodiversity and overlap considerations.

• Specialized and inclusive intervention strategies for reading, spelling, and written work challenges with practical implementation guidance for practitioners
