I have enjoyed reading this as it will help me to adapt my tools and guidance to support these learners more effectively.

Learners who are dyslexic have also found this a valuable book to help them try new strategies that make the learning experience more valuable for them.
This is a clear, easily accessible text that utilises clear font choices and off-white backgrounds that learners have enjoyed using. It is a useful reference guide to dip in and out of as well as a guide for trainee teachers in how they could support learners.
A helpful tool for students with dyslexia. Some good tips and guidance, clearly laid out in dyslexia-friendly format.
Excellent book with some pratical advice that is easily implemented . Inform\\ation within the nbok was also relevant to those with undiagnosed dyslexia or who showed dylexic tendencies . Extremely useful for learners and for those in early years as a textbook for the Level 3 unit on specific learning needs
A straight talking and motivational book which offers guidance on how to succeed in a positive way. A useful toolkit for all levels.
Really helpful strategies and easy to read and follow.
This book was a good teaching resource for me. It helped me to better understand how to support our students with dyslexia, who were undertaking study skills. It is also a useful tool generally for any tutor looking to support students undertaking study skills.
An interesting read that has proved useful to students as well as teachers already taking suggestions and techniques into the classroom.
A useful text for any student with dyslexia or those who need strategies to organise and structure study at FE/HE level.
