The A-Z of Special Needs for Every Teacher is an essential resource for all primary teachers, specialists and teacher trainees. Many teachers receive limited training regarding learning difficulties, but are expected to address the diverse needs of every child in their class. This book provides a clear and concise explanation of SEN conditions and syndromes, demonstrating how they may affect a child’s learning.
It is full of practical suggestions and activities for support which also address different learning styles. The Primary National Strategy is considered throughout, allowing for easy integration with day to day planning and assessment. Challenges to learning are presented in an accessible way, with a wealth of activities and games suggested to engage and interest each learner. It encourages practitioners to develop quality of provision in a manageable way, giving examples of best practice and usable resources.
The ‘A-Z’ motivates teachers and professionals working in this area to develop their understanding of the barriers children face. Ideas for use across the primary age range are provided, allowing teachers to cater for the different abilities within a class. Extensive reference is also made to commercial resources and websites are reviewed. Overall, the A-Z of Special Needs for Every Teacher remains an outstanding and vital resource for those working in schools and those involved in ITT.

A useful book for SENCOs
28 January 2011This is a good book which gives a very thorough grounding in the various strategies and approaches that can be used to improve the teaching provision for children with a wide range of disabilities. It was a little too detailed for my needs - I was looking for more of a quick summative guide. However I'm sure others would find it very useful, and it's definitely worth the money.
