This book, written for “teachers at the primary and secondary level who are having to cope with disabled readers, for teachers in training and for the harried parents of the child with reading disabilities”, focuses on the pupil who fails to benefit from traditional procedures used to teach reading—in other words the child who will “neither 7 nor 11”. Although subtitled "Reading Remediation Teachers’ Guidebook” it is actually much more than this would indicate in that it provides in compact form not only a wealth of ideas for enticing the reluctant reader into the world of books but also a handy compendium of the needs of the slow learner and the dyslexic child as well as the specific skills needed for learning to read.
