Description

Until fairly recently, the difficulties which some children experience in the area of reading have often been considered separately from the same children's possible problems in the area of writing, spelling and handwriting. In today's society this is no longer realistic. Nowadays most teachers realise the importance of linking all teaching in the area of the language field. As a result, throughout the school, it should become impossible to erect barriers between oral dialogue, writing (both by hand and using the computer) and reading. All these aspects receive attention in this book, the work of a number of teachers with considerable experience of helping children with problems.
