In Britain and the US the standard of literacy in both adults and schoolchildren is tragically low. Many children are labelled dyslexic or are diagnosed as having learning difficulties, but the problems really lie in teaching methods that are based on outdated and often harmful methods. In this book, Diane McGuinness examines the construction of writing systems and how they can be taught, along with exciting recent studies on reading programmes that work for everyone, including children and adults who cannot read a word. Designed for teachers, educationalists and parents, Why Children Can't Read is an essential tool in the fight against illiteracy.
