Alla elever i skolan har rätt att utvecklas till sin fulla potential utifrån sina förutsättningar. För att nå det krävs att lärare har både bred och djup kunskap inom pedagogik och specialpedagogik som bygger på vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet. Boken har en tydlig teoretisk och vetenskaplig förankring, och ger värdefulla kunskaper om bland annat språkutveckling, läs- och skrivutveckling och dyslexi. Den innehåller också en genomgång av de olika stegen i utredningsprocessen och hur man använder standardiserade test. Betydelsen av dyslexi för andra skolämnen, som engelska och matematik, behandlas i särskilda avsnitt, och hur pedagogiken kan anpassas för att ge elever med dyslexi bästa möjliga stöd i sin inlärning. De många förslagen på åtgärder, till exempel en lästräningsmetod som syftar till bättre läsflyt, erbjuder handfast hjälp i att planera det pedagogiska arbetet för elever med läs- och skrivsvårigheter. Kartläggning och åtgärder vid läs- och skrivsvårigheter och dyslexi är avsedd för pedagoger och specialpedagoger, och kan användas både inom grundutbildning och fortbildning, men fungerar också utmärkt att användas för självstudier för att förkovra sig inom området. Innehållet i boken baseras på det kursmaterial som författarna Anna Fouganthine och Christer Jacobson har utarbetat till sina kurser med samma namn som boken. I denna andra utgåva av boken har endast mindre uppdateringar av innehållet gjorts.

En dyslexidiagnos kan för både barn och vuxna vara en lättnad. Ett slut på många år av dålig självkänsla och ångest över att inte klara det som alla andra kunde i redan i första klass, över att bli betraktad som lat eller lite korkad av en oförstående omgivning. Men måste det vara så?
I den här boken skriver logopeden Hanne Uddling pedagogiskt om dyslexi utifrån sin yrkesmässiga erfarenhet, modern forskning och otaliga möten med barn och unga som fått diagnosen. Hon gör upp med fördomar om läsning och intelligens, tipsar om hjälpmedel och beskriver sin drömskola där kunskapen om dyslexi är självklar och alla barn får rätt stöd utifrån sina egna behov, i rätt tid.
Grattis, du har dyslexi riktar sig både till dig som nyss fått veta att du har dyslexi och till föräldrar, lärare och andra vuxna som möter barn och ungdomar med dyslexi. I boken blandas exempel ur verkligheten med förklarande och fördjupande texter, som fungerar utmärkt att läsa och prata om tillsammans.

‘A superb study … brilliant stories, hilarious observations and jaw dropping revelations about so many figures in public life we thought we knew – but never understood’ EMILY MAITLIS Loss and adversity are part of the human condition, but an imperfect past isn’t always an indicator of what’s to come. This book traces a pattern: why is it that often the people with the hardest beginnings in life – children who experience displacement, disease, financial ruin, abandonment or bereavement – become the most successful adults? And is there something to learn from those people, who perhaps have the strongest sense of what matters most?Of Britain’s fifty-five prime ministers, twenty-five lost one or both of their parents as a child and 69 per cent suffered some form of serious childhood trauma. For their acclaimed podcast Past Imperfect, Thomson and Sylvester spoke to some such prime ministers, as well as pioneers and poets, CEOs and chefs, actors and archbishops, sports stars and Nobel prize-winning scientists. How did Richard Branson overcome severe dyslexia? How did Daphne Park, born in lonely, rural Tanzania, become one of Britain’s top spies? How was diver Tom Daley driven on to win an Olympic gold medal by being bullied at school and his father’s early death?This book brings together psychological research with scores of intimate, fascinating interviews. The resulting narrative is full of hope, and might help us all towards a better understanding of resilience, motivation, perspective and courage.

In 1896 the British physician William Pringle Morgan published an account of “Percy,” a “bright and intelligent boy, quick at games, and in no way inferior to others of his age.” Yet, in spite of his intelligence, Percy had great difficulty learning to read. Percy was one of the first children to be described as having word-blindness, better known today as dyslexia. In this first comprehensive history of dyslexia Philip Kirby and Margaret Snowling chart a journey that begins with Victorian medicine and continues to dyslexia’s current status as the most globally recognized specific learning difficulty. In an engaging narrative style, Kirby and Snowling tell the story of dyslexia, examining its origins and revealing the many scientists, teachers, and campaigners who put it on the map. Through this history they explain current debates over the diagnosis of dyslexia and its impact on learning.For those who have lived experience of dyslexia, professionals who have supported them, and scholars of social history, education, psychology, and childhood studies, Dyslexia reflects on the place of literacy in society – whom it has benefited, and whom it has left behind.

When Phil Hanley was in year one at school, he realised something that would forever set him apart from his peers: he couldn’t read. His teachers were ill-equipped to assist him, and he slipped through the school’s cracks, year by year falling further and further behind his friends. Finally, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that would shape the rest of his life.Unable to pursue college or a traditional job, Phil was thrust into a life defined by unconventional twists, including a stint as a runway model in Europe. Eventually, he found himself on a stage with a microphone, a spotlight, and five minutes of jokes. Unlike so many previous pursuits, stand-up felt right to Phil, and he soon discovered that the more he worked at it, the more he got out of it - a realisation that, he compellingly argues, saved his life. Spellbound is a story of humour and also of struggle and heartbreak, of constantly living in a world that sees things differently than you do, and of triumph over adversity.Phil shows us that dyslexia can be a huge challenge, but it doesn’t spell certain condemnation (and neither can he). Just the opposite: dyslexia has been more than a blessing in his life - it’s been his North Star.

When Phil Hanley entered school, he realised something that would forever set him apart from his peers: he couldn’t read. His teachers were ill-equipped to assist him. His school system lacked the proper resources. Phil slipped through the school's cracks, year by year falling farther and farther behind his friends, only passing to each next year because of his mother’s interventions. Finally he was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that would shape the rest of his life.In Spellbound, Phil Hanley shares his experience living with extreme dyslexia. Unable to pursue college or a conventional job, Phil was thrust into a life to be defined by unconventional twists. He moved to Europe and became a successful runway model, a job that suitably kept him away from pens and paper. When that career flamed out, Phil retreated home to Vancouver where, eager to cure himself of his dyslexia, he turned to an all-consuming obsession with Transcendental Meditation. Finally, he found himself on a stage with a microphone, a spotlight, and five minutes of jokes. Though stand-up was never his dream, the comedy community provided a path that at the time seemed to be the only option left for him, and one that he compellingly argues, saved his life. Spellbound is a story of humour and also of struggle and heartbreak, of constantly living in a world that sees things differently than you, and of triumph over adversity.

Questioning the Access, Success and Progression of Disadvantaged Students

All universities have to produce plans to eliminate the gaps in access, success and participation of disadvantaged student in higher education, setting targets with regards to Global Majority, working class, disabled and student with mental health conditions. In this book, Mike Seal examines the terminology, theoretical debates and positions, identifies the causes of gaps, and evaluates proposed initiatives. He argues that there is an unexamined assumption that higher education is a ‘good thing’ materially and intellectually, which demonises those for whom this is questionable. The book also highlights the continuing structural and individual discrimination in terms of class, race and disability and a denial of the extent to which higher education is a cause of mental health issues and negative well-being. It uncovers unexamined ‘assimilation’ models in higher education that expects these students to abandon their culture and communities, despite students wanting to give back to these communities being a major extrinsic motivation, and to embrace a culture that will not embrace them.The book starts from the perspective that contemporary international higher education reproduces existing privileges, and the book goes on to argue that widening participation agendas should recognise the changing nature of academic life through a more inclusive, holistic approach. Seal argues that it is essential to include an informed understanding of how students position themselves in academia and how their identity and academic status is enabled and developed with the support of the university. In order to do this universities need to redefine their purpose and the nature of their relationships with the communities they purport to serve.
