Tackling Literacy Difficulties: Can Teacher Training Meet the Challenge?
Layton, Lynn; Deeny, Karen
British Journal of Special Education, v22 n1 p20-23 Mar 1995
The 1993 Education Act in Great Britain presents classroom teachers and special educational needs coordinators with fresh challenges with students who have reading and writing failure. Improved initial training of primary teachers is needed so they are equipped to address manifest reading and spelling difficulties, predict where problems can arise, divert mild difficulties, and prevent or ameliorate severe difficulties.
