"This book is a really practical, hands-on guide packed with a wealth of advice on strategies and "things to try" reflecting the authors′ extensive experience. If you want to make effective, inclusive dyslexia-friendly classrooms a reality rather than an aspiration, this book is for you." - Dr John P. Rack, Head of Research and Development, Dyslexia Action
