Overcoming Dyslexia• • • Overcoming Dyslexia - Yale neuroscientist Sally Shaywitz demystifies the roots of dyslexia and offers parents and educators hope that children with reading problems can be helped. Shaywitz delves deeply into how dyslexia occurs, explaining that magnetic resonance imaging has helped scientists trace the disability to a weakness in the language system at the phonological level. According to Shaywitz, science now has clear evidence that the brain of the dyslexic reader is activated in a different area than that of the non-impaired reader. Interestingly, the dyslexic reader may be strong in reasoning, problem solving and critical thinking, but invariably lacks phonemic awareness-the ability to break words apart into distinct sounds-which is critical in order to crack the reading code. The good news, Shaywitz claims, is that with the use of effective training programs, the brain can be rewired and dyslexic children can learn to read. She walks parents through ways to help children develop phonemic awareness, become fluent readers, and exercise the area of the brain essential for reading success. Book: USA | UK

Units of Sound Units of Sound - This multi-sensory reading intervention program from the UK Dyslexia Institute combines the benefits of independent work on a computer with guidance from a teacher or assistant. Structured, cumulative and multi-sensory, Units of Sound is easy to use for pupils and teachers. Based firmly on research into reading tests and high frequency words, it builds reading accuracy, vocabulary, spelling, sentence writing skills, automaticity, listening skills, visual skills and comprehension. Each sound is seen, heard and repeatedly practised within groups of words.

"Of great benefit to the older dyslexic child with a reading age of 6+ years, is the Unit of Sounds Programme designed to develop awareness, fluency and accuracy in spelling, reading, writing and memory. Developed by the UK Dyslexia Institute, it can be used in conjunction with ‘Write Out Loud’ – a separate software package which I personally use to assist with the sentence construction aspect of Units of Sound, though it has not been specifically designed for use in conjuction with Units of Sound. When a full stop is typed the programme will then read the full sentence back to the child. It has facilities to change background colour, font size and helps alert the user to incorrect spelling or grammar by highlighting errors via a colour change across the tool bar area. The programme offers a choice of words and spellings and if the child cannot recognise the spelling pattern, the word can also be heard before inserting into the text. It is an invaluable aid to the dyslexic child." (H.F., Adu Dhabi). UK

Sound Linkage Sound Linkage - Integrated Programme for Overcoming Reading Difficulties - teaching package contains a reading and phonological training programme for use with reading-delayed and dyslexic children. It comprises: 54 laminated picture cards; a criterion-referenced test of phonological awareness; photocopiable record sheets; and an outline of a reading programme within which the phonological awareness training can be used. In addition to the materials from the first edition, the second edition includes normative data for the test, and specific examples of letter-sound "linkage" activities to supplement the purely phonological training activities. The second edition also provides information for teachers that should enable them to grade early reading books (23 levels), in order that children can make the link between sounds and words while reading text with at least 90 per cent accuracy. The materials were originally used in the Hatcher, Hulme and Ellis (1994) study, which has been rated internationally as one of the three most effective phonological awareness intervention studies. Since 1994, the materials have been used with a wide range of children and been found to be suitable for use with any reading-delayed child, irrespective of cognitive ability and age.

Dyslexia? Assessing and Reporting: the PATOSS Guide Dyslexia? Assessing and Reporting: the PATOSS Guide - There is now a greater need than ever before to assess, record and respond appropriately to the special needs of individuals. Specialist teachers, learning support managers - all have a statutory duty to see that individual needs are identified, from the early years to further and higher education. This book focuses on the purposes, principles and practicalities of assessing for dyslexia across successive age groups, exploring the changing assessment issues and specific assessment needs. It looks at the available types of assessments at each stage, explaining how to interpret results and how and when to involve other professionals. Throughout, special emphasis is placed upon the need to cooperate and communicate effectively with others - pupils/students, their parents, class teachers, administrators and fellow professionals - to ensure that appropriate intervention and follow-up support are forthcoming. Assessments are needed to diagnose, to plan intervention, to inform school/college policies, to support claims for funding, to justify special arrangements in examinations, and more. These very different purposes require specialist teachers and support managers to have a firm grasp of relevant legislation and professional guidelines, to select appropriate assessments and provide reports that will meet their intended purpose. Assessing for Dyslexia will enable you to achieve this! Down to earth, and with numerous examples, this book provides the practical guidance needed by specialist teachers special needs teachers and educational professionals in training, as well as by learning support staff working in schools and colleges.

Phonological Skills Programme by Kathryn Dickie - meticulously planned programme teaching what a word is, segemntation, rhyming, through the early letter sounds, with a large battery of pictures to photocopy. The programme relies on a knowledge of the International Phonetic Alphabet - which many teachers may not be familiar with. It is also open to criticism on the grounds of including pictures which are not always readily meaningful to a multi-cultural audience, using words not in common usage (e.g. cloy, ploy), and requiring a very large battery of teaching equipment - wooden lolly sticks, metal washers, miniature animals and vehicles, etc. Recommended for a private tutor in the UK with a speech therpy background and a desire to thoroughly cover each small step of the initial process of learning to read and recognize letter sounds.

ACE Spelling DictionaryAurally Coded Dictionary - The ACE spelling dictionary is the Aurally Coded dictionary – it confronts the multitude of vowel sounds by classifying words according to the first one in each. She has been under very intense pressure and extremely frustrated by her efforts to use a normal dictionary. "Using the ACE Dictionary, my 16-years old student identifies the start sound of a difficult work, then the second sound. The dictionary gives a visual support to the second sound and a page reference for the combination from a grid. She then counts the syllables, selects the list on the page, runs her finger down and is becoming increasingly proficient at identifying the word. Her motivation has increased because the exam board is now allowing her to use the ACE Dictionary in some exams. (S.D. P, Kent, UK)."
