Synopsis
Dyslexia is seen primarily as a limitation in the ability to deal with symbolic material. As far as the symbols of mathematics are concerned, therefore, special teaching techniques are needed, just as they are for the teaching of reading and spelling. In "Dyslexia and Mathematics" the six contributors draw on many years' experience of teaching dyslexic children of all ages. Individual cases are described in detail. Two central themes are discussed: first, that dyslexics need to carry out the operations of adding, dividing, and so on, before being introduced to symbolism; and second that, because of their difficulties with rote learning, dyslexics need to be shown the many regularities and patterns which occur in the number system. This book should be of interest to professionals and students of special education.
