Items related to Literacy Through Symbols: Improving Access for Children...
Symbols are used widely to help children and adults with literacy difficulties. Their use ranges from helping children who have difficulties learning to spell, through to children and adults who are not able to use traditional text as a means of reading and self-expression. This book offers ideas and examples of the ways in which access to literacy can be enhanced through the use of symbols. It includes a discussion of the educational and social issues that surround symbol use, and its role in enhancing autonomy and independence.

Review:
"[This book] gives a rationale for using different symbol systems and a valuable guide to their use in practice. Many a teacher and parent will attest to the extraordinary liberation a symbol system can effect and this book will help others enormously in their use of these."
