In this encouraging book, Cornelia Jantzen presents effective ways of approaching dyslexia, drawing on her own practical experience as well as research by prominent thinkers, practitioners and
scientists. People with dyslexia struggle with standard methods of learning to read and write, which are not tailored to their multi-dimensional, visual ways of thinking. However, they are
often highly imaginative, intuitive and creative.
Jantzen explores methods by innovative dyslexia consultant Ronald Davis, whose approach enables students to use all their senses in learning written language. She analyses the philosopher
Rudolf Steiner's thoughts on learning - how his own difficulties with reading and writing informed his teaching methods, and ultimately how these have been carried forward in Steiner-Waldorf
education programmes.
