Reviews

This is a long awaited book and it is sure to be 'snapped up' by all professional groups who deal with the literacy issues experienced by multilingual learners with dyslexia and other specific difficulties. The authors provide a sound understanding of the strategies needed to ensure that all subjects are made accessible. This book is sure to be a winner! Gavin Reid, Education Director Lighthouse School, Cairo, Egypt This is a thought-provoking book that will hopefully stimulate further research. It is, thus, highly recommended for foreign language teachers and anybody interested in literacy issues, test designers and program administrators. James Rock, Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Italy The book is accessible to all types of language teachers, from the most experienced to the novice, and explores a wide range of themes. It is organised into short evenlength chapters and readers are not overloaded with technical linguistic jargon, even when cognitive processes are being described.
