Description: LDA's step-by-step multi-sensory literacy programme for all dyslexic pupils has just got better! The publisher is replacing the original series with new editions of all six books, featuring fresh designs and new illustrations. Each new book will also include a colour card pack and an audio CD. Books 1-3 cover all the letters of the alphabet, and on completion of the third book pupils will have mastered consonant digraphs and consonant clusters. Books 4-6 are geared to the needs of slightly older pupils and introduce long vowels. This new, revised edition retains all the strengths of the well-established "Beat Dyslexia" series to support those students struggling to read, write or spell. The comprehensive programme develops literacy skills by combining successful phonological approaches with the very best of conventional, multi-sensory and structured teaching methods. This series takes pupils from the earliest stages of letter recognition through to full literacy. Using a wide range of imaginative approaches, the activities are carefully structured so that all the goals are small and attainable. Pupils gain confidence through consolidation and success as they develop their reading skills and build a sound understanding of basic spelling and grammar. The wide variety of phonic activities are based on multi-sensory techniques that assist the teacher in maintaining pupils' interest and enthusiasm - making them ideal for those with short concentration spans. Although primarily designed to help pupils of all ages struggling with dyslexia, the combination of visual and aural approaches makes the activities suitable for any child striving to acquire literacy skills. In-built assessment is provided through the progressive series of engaging reading passages and spelling tests. The programme may be used by teachers or teaching assistants with no specialist training. Each '"Beat Dyslexia" pack contains photocopiable activities, reading and spelling cards and an audio CD. Beat Dyslexia 5 covers; ou, -ic, -tion, -le, -tch, ir, ur, oy, oi, ie, au, aw, ph, ew, ei, -ue, -ous, ch, & -ture.
