Opis

For those educating children with dyslexia, special techniques are just as essential for the teaching of mathematics as they are for reading and spelling. In this revised and fully updated edition of "Dyslexia and Mathematics," the six expert contributors draw on their extensive experience of teaching children of all ages with dyslexia. Readers will find a wealth of material formed out of individual case studies, all of which is supported by practical and accessible teaching strategies. New chapters on dyscalculia, extra information concerning standardized tests, and summaries of the latest findings on cognitive learning styles will make this second edition the essential companion for teachers and students alike.
