Children are encouraged to build up their own dictionaries and sentences are include which will enable them to practise a systematic way what they have been taught. A final chapter makes some suggestions for help with arithmetic, and advise s given on the choice of the readers, workbooks and materials. The authors emphasise the need for common sense on the part of both parents and teachers, coupled with careful observation of the kinds of things which dyslexic children find difficult even when they display striking ability in other ways.
