The resource guides teachers on practical ways of coping with children who have particular difficulties in learning. The Guide can be used as a study book on its own or as a guide
for groups of teachers studying together. It should help teachers who already have children with ‘special needs’ in their classes. It will also assist teachers who have limited experience of such children but who want to learn more.

This paper reports on the findings of a Tasmanian study for the (former) Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST). Its purpose was to provide specific support to increase teachers’ capacity to enhance the literacy and numeracy development of students with learning difficulties in the early and middle years of schooling.

This is the review was commissioned by the UK's Department for Children, Schools and Families. It is important to develop high quality interventions for children with literacy and dyslexic difficulties and to implement them thoroughly. This will require well trained, knowledgeable teachers and support staff. The report is mainly concerned with identifying and responding directly to counter the effects of dyslexia on literacy.
