Synopsis

This photocopiable manual covers an area where reading materials are often hard to come by for the dysphasic client. Texts which are sufficiently simple are not always appropriately adult and the type size is often too small and too crowded. The title meets the need for a wide selection of reading materials suitable for the client with acquired dyslexia. Its contents arranged in a hierarchy of reading tasks from the very basic to the more advanced. Beginning with highly imageable single words, the activities move on to the more abstract at single word level. It introduces sentences of varying syntactic and semantic complexity. It also includes a wealth of reading passages ranging from short paragraphs with sytacticly simple content, to the more advanced material for those with slight dyslexic problems. It is designed to help the dyslexic client as much as possible, the format and large print makes this the ideal resource for photocopying as handouts.
