Music and Dyslexia by Timothy R. Miles,John Westcombe,Diana Ditchfield Pdf

Music and dyslexia is of particular interest for two reasons. Firstly, research suggests that music education can benefit young dyslexics as it helps them focus on auditory and motor timing skills and highlights the rhythms of language. Secondly, dyslexic musicians at a more advanced level face particular challenges such as sight-reading, written requirements of music examinations and extreme performance nerves. This is a sequel to the highly successful Music and Dyslexia: Opening New Doors, published in 2001. The field of dyslexia has developed rapidly, particularly in the area of neuropsychology. Therefore this book focuses on these research advances, and draws out the aspects of music education that benefit young dyslexics. The contributors also discuss the problems that dyslexic musicians face, and several chapters are devoted to sight-reading and specific strategies that dyslexics can use to help them sight-read. The book offers practical techniques and strategies, to teachers and parents to help them work with young dyslexics and dyslexic musicians.

The Dyslexia, ADHD, and DCD-Friendly Study Skills Guide by Ann-Marie McNicholas Pdf

This practical skills guide helps young people with who learn differently including those with dyslexia, DCD/dyspraxia and ADHD, study for their exams. Students who learn differently can often find exams challenging and can experience a good deal of anxiety around exam time, leading to exam results that may not accurately reflect their capabilities. Much exam stress arises from a lack of confidence with the ability to learn and retain information in a meaningful way. This engaging workbook is designed to help students to overcome these issues. It not only shows students how to develop a positive success attitude towards study and exams, but also aims to equip them with powerful strategies and techniques for learning and remembering. The book offers strategies for learners whose methods of learning are multisensory. When learning is active rather than passive, it happens faster, and is easier, more enjoyable and more effective. As you progress through the fun, engaging activities, so your confidence and belief in your ability to learn will increase. Struggling students will become confident, successful learners, with a positive attitude and access to a wide range of effective strategies, and in this way, you will achieve the results in exams that you have worked for and deserve.

Dyslexia and Learning Style by Tilly Mortimore Pdf

The second edition of this highly successful book, Dyslexia and Learning Style builds on the latest research to extend its practical, evidence-based approach to learning style in the educational environment. Containing a response to the most recent critical insights into style theory and new suggestions for practical work for students within a range of educational contexts, this book remains essential for any teacher wishing to use awareness of style preferences to ensure that all students are helped to succeed. Recent government policy emphasises inclusive teaching for all and personalised learning. This means that all teachers need to consider how they can adapt the ways in which they teach to maximise success for all learners. The first section of this practical book provides an overview of the latest research into both dyslexia and learning style and how pupils should be helped to consider the ways in which they can take responsibility to make use of their style preferences to learn effectively. The second section provides ways in which style preferences can be established. It offers techniques to help students absorb, process and create responses to information across the curriculum. It suggests practical ways in which teachers can adapt material to make it accessible to a range of learners and provides activities to help students develop a more flexible approach to learning throughout their studies in school and higher education.
