About the Book
The Routledge Companion to Dyslexia is a ground-breaking survey of the whole field of dyslexia by a distinguished international team of contributors.
The first part opens with a survey of current and future development in research, with a focus on how research can inform practice. The contributors will offer a spotlight on areas such as genetic studies, neurobiology/neurophysiology, phonological processing, literacy acquisition and multilingualism.
The second part considers assessment and identification, with contributions on early identification, reading, spelling and mathematics, as well as a focus on identifying and meeting needs in an inclusive context.
The third part considers inclusion and barriers to learning, in a variety of different national contexts. This part will look at research and examples of practice in relation to inclusion. There will also be some chapters linking this to the barriers to learning children with dyslexia may experience in the inclusive context. Models of instruction, direct instruction, co-operative learning and cross –curriculum learning will also be included.
The Routledge Companion to Dyslexia is a superb resource for anyone interested in the subject, whether in education or related subjects such as psychology or neurology. Fully indexed and cross-referenced, with helpful further reading sections at the end of each entry, it is ideal for those coming to the field of dyslexia for the first time as well as students and practitioners already familiar with the subject.
