This book takes a fresh look at approaches to teaching literacy, presenting a wealth of innovative methods specifically designed to support visual learners, including those with autism spectrum conditions and special educational needs.

Some children are more responsive to visual stimulation than spoken words, and this book shows how to engage these children in literacy lessons by using specialist strategies and using the latest assistive technology. Covering the key elements of teaching literacy, the book shows how to encourage reading, writing, and communication skills.

There are tips for sharing stories with children who find it hard to sit still, supporting reluctant writers, enabling the pre-verbal child to answer questions and helping the child who never stops talking to develop listening skills. The strategies are supported by a CD-ROM of practical resources, examples and case studies, to show how they can instill in children the confidence to create and share their thoughts.

This is a must-have resource for special education teachers, as well as speech and language therapists, looking for new strategies for teaching literacy.

Industry Reviews

This books title gives a few clues to the broad range of its content. In fact, the author also includes topics such as how best to motivate and engage pupils, as well as how to maximise their abilities to listen, communicate, read and write. Mrs Devine shares her experiences of teaching pupils with severe learning difficulties and works indefatigably to show how every child has the potential to shine. In the current climate of every changing goalposts and the relentless drive to fulfill targets, her passion and philosophy are breath of fresh air.
