Book excerpt: A guide for teachers who want to become competent in the skills required to assess, teach, support, and counsel dyslexic people in a variety of settings. British professionals, most from The Dyslexia Institute, synthesize the current practice and explain the cognitive and linguistic weaknesses that underpin the condition and the highly structured multi-sensory approach that teaches reading and spelling skills at the appropriate rate.
