Abstract: | Dyslexia is a controversial topic yet, however it is defined, there can be no denying the profound handicap of an inability to read and write, especially for adults struggling to get on in a world where literacy is central. Thus Norma Mudd's case study of Fiona as she develops her control of print is encouraging and, at times, inspiring. Norma draws some wider lessons from Fiona's experience which will be found useful by all teachers of literacy. |
