"The author of this book argues that spelling and writing need to be given more consideration in teaching and remedial settings especially if dyslexic pupils are to be helped back up to grade level, and other pupils are to make more effective, quicker progress. This book helps teachers and student teachers to understand the valuable contribution spelling and handwriting make to literacy development in primary and secondary schools, and shows them how to overcome existing barriers to learning." "This book will be of interest to teachers and teacher educators interested in literacy, dyslexia and dyspraxia/developmental coordination difficulties. Undergraduate and postgraduate students in education and inclusion will also find much here of interest."--Jacket.
