Teaching Students with Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, OWL LD, and Dyscalculia Second Edition, New edition

It’s in good condition as if a brand new book. Love it!

Excellent resource for research based assessment and intervention.

This book gives me a headache. Poorly structured, poorly organized text. The authors of this text appear to want to say everything about teaching and dyslexia that can ever be said, all within 275 pages. To say that the text jumps around within the (wildly divergent) chapters is a huge understatement. Somebody, somewhere, has tried to corral their hairbrained approach by labeling the chapters 4a, 4b, 4c...Yet even within these sections one gets overwhelmed at the scope of their attempts. One second you are reading a morass of “teacher tips” complete with advice on how to manage behaviors in the classroom and the next second you are reading about phonology and diagnostic minuteau and then suddenly the texts veers into literal lists of articles/curriculums/books that teachers should use to teach. (It’s like they didn’t notice that google exists now and we can all search online for our own articles and bibliographies etc.) This book is also packed with thinly veiled opinions about how schools and teachers and educational systems should change. The redeeming element that earns it 2 stars from me is that the authors do seem to know a great deal about their subject matter, even if they can’t manage to distill it into teachable chunks.
