Description: "Based on interviews with dyslexic children and their families, this book presents first-hand accounts of how dyslexia affects the children themselves and the people around them. This new edition provides an updated account of cognitive research and examines important changes in relation to special educational needs policy and practice in the last ten years, including the Revised SEN Code of Practice (2001), Removing Barriers to Achievement (2004) and the National Literacy Strategy (2006). Living with Dyslexia recognises that the voices of children with dyslexia are increasingly important in developing good educational practice and makes an important contribution to the literature on dyslexia."--Jacket.
