Teaching the Literacy Hour in an Inclusive Classroom Supporting Pupils with Learning Difficulties in a Mainstream Environment
First published in 1999. This book offers clear, practical advice and guidance on how to encourage and support children who have special educational needs without losing sight of the needs of the rest of the class.

By looking closely at the key features of each difficulty, the authors show how to plan for these pupils and includes proven strategies.
