Helping Children with Reading and Spelling This book provides teaching suggestions to help children who struggle with learning to read and spell. It is intended as a basic kit for class teachers and collects in one place enough ideas to enable teachers and parents to give each child appropriate help. The teaching plans, including the `five-minute-plan', have been written with the primary school child in mind, but can be modified for older pupils. The materials build on the content of an earlier manual, Learning Difficulties in Reading and Writing, which has been widely and successfully used by teachers, especially those working with children who have specific literacy difficulties. The detailed teaching sequences, combining the enjoyment of content with the more systematic practice of subskills, which were particularly appreciated in the earlier volume, have been developed here.
