The first section of this research based but practical book has
been updated to examine the most recent research in two key areas:
dyslexia and the dyslexic experience and the major cognitive and
learning styles. In the light of increased controversy around
the use of learning style theory in the educational arena,
suggestions are made as to ways in which these theories can be
utilized to inform teaching and learning and maximize success for
vulnerable learners.
The second section provides a range of ways in which to enable
learners to understand and utilize their individual styles along
with techniques to help students to absorb, process and create
responses to information across the curriculum; practical
strategies to help teachers to adapt material to suit differing
ways of learning and activities to help students to become
more flexible and successful in their
approach.
