Books by Diane (Middlesex University Montgomery

Providing an overview of approaches taken to dyslexia over the last 100 years, this text considers why men have traditionally taken the lead in dyslexia theory and research, whilst women have often been confined to practice. Montgomery thus argues that gender bias has played an obstructive role in the development of our understanding of dyslexia.

Describes how to set up and engage in classroom observation, how to use focused appraisal sessions and deliver the feedback interview, provides practical, positive guidance by a tried and tested theory of improving teaching and learning for school development.

Argues that spelling and writing need to be given more consideration in teaching and remedial settings, especially if dyslexic pupils are to be helped back up to grade level. This book covers topics such as: the impact of the National Literacy Strategy; the definition of dyslexia and how common spelling errors by dyslexics are made; and more.
