I tend to use the tern 'extra textbooks' although it is by no means universally agreed that the DSA can be used to purchase any books unless the student is physically unable to get to the library. Quite a few LEAS will not agree to fund any books for dyslexic students. As long as DfES delegates to the LEAs such anomolies will exist. I'm not going to get in an argument over this as it's what some LEAs adopt as their interpretation of the guidelines, however, personally I'm not that inclined to argue with them on this issue.
