366

Diana Hudson has taught science in secondary school for over 35 years. She has training and experience in working with neurodiverse students and has held posts both as Head of Biology and SENCO at different times in her career. In this book she sets out to make science accessible, enjoyable and memorable through the use of multi-sensory approaches that include making models, games and composing songs and poems.

Hudson outlines some of the possible reasons that students with dyslexia might struggle in science and provides some examples of specific areas of the school science curriculum that can be particularly challenging. She then matches these to tried and tested classroom activities that are creative and interactive to support engagement and secure learning.

The chapters include symbols that guide the reader’s understanding and indicate which pages can be photocopied and downloaded from the publisher’s website and in the appendix there is a guide to useful websites and sample templates.

This is a useful and practical resource for teachers and parents of children over the age of nine and its multi-sensory approach helps make learning memorable and engaging.
