DD2 (leaving Y3) has just got a Dyslexia diagnosis. Which is really annoying because I know a fair bit about lots of SN conditions, and know chuff all about Dyslexia.
I need to find out, but I've got the summer to read up on it.
Apparently she's v bright, her Maths is excellent, her reading is good, she has problems with processing and retrieval and as a result her writing and spelling is poor. I need a book (or books) that will:
a) explain what the processing and retrieval thing is, and how it manifests &
b) exhaustively tells me what I need to get school to do: it's a private school which will probably be fairly willing.
Books I've found so far seem to be either dumbed down for parents and/or focus on reading difficulties she doesn't have. I probably need something a bit more technical.
