Multisensory Teaching Of Basic Language Skills, 2nd Edition

This is a great book to have on hand for all levels and aspects of literacy remediation.

Multisensory Teaching Of Basic Language Skills, 2nd Edition by Judith R. Birsh is one of the best books professional books that I have read. I am a reading specialist for middle school students and this book has helped me help my struggling students. The book is grounded in research and has very concrete and good suggestions/ activities to help students with dyslexia. I would highly recommend the book to all educators of K-12 students.

This is an excellent book for reading teachers. It is written like a textbook, with each chapter covering a specific topic like "Phonological Awreness and Reading" and "Teaching Comprehension". It gives specific advice on how to use multisensory teaching techniques for teaching reading, spelling and even mathematics. It is a very useful resource for teachers working with students at all stages, from the very young to students in their teens. The methods described in the book will also be very helpful for those teaching adult literacy classes. I highly recommend this book.

This book gives language teachers a great wealth of information regarding dyslexia and reading problems.

...this is a great book that I've searched for. It pulls tons of useful information about dyslexia into one spot. Only one warning I would send out to parents - this is a textbook not a "pop culture" book. I've found the reading slow going as I'm unfamiliar with many of terms and concepts as I'm not a linguist or teacher. Having said that, I belive I now understand how to help my daughter learn easier which will open many previously closed doors to her. The textbook is worth the effort!!
