Biography
T.R. Miles is Emeritus Professor of Pscyhology and Elaine Miles is Course Advisor, Teacher Training at the Dyslexia Unit at the University College of North Wales Bangor.
`This is an amalgamation of the Miles' earliest book in this area, updated, with firmer indications that the approach is effective provided in the introduction. The book is eminently concise, clear and readable. It offers teachers and parents sensible, structured advice on a rule-governed phonic approach to spelling and reading together with a brief section on practical approaches to calculation.' - Educational Psychology
`This is a small book but it contains a great deal of practical and useful material to apply with children who may be suffering from dyslexia. ...It is an invaluable book for teachers and parents wishing to help their children whether they suffer from dyslexia or from some other condition impeding development towards being able to read and spell.' - Dr L.F. Lowenstein, Allington Manor School
