Phillips and Kelly have done it again with this superb second edition of their Assessing of Learners with Dyslexia-type difficulties.  The first edition enjoyed tremendous success and I am sure this updated and comprehensive edition will be warmly welcomed by teachers, specialist teachers and other professionals involved in the area of assessment.  A welcome addition in this edition is the chapter on SpLD – a key area due to the coexistence between the different conditions associated with dyslexia.  This is a superb buy and I am sure it will prove to be indispensible as a reference and daily guide for teachers and specialist teachers.
