An excellent book [Posted on 2006-08-25]
I bought this book because the teachers think that my grandson may be dyslexic and I would recommend it to any parent or grandparenmt like myself. My daughter bought another book but we both like this one best. This book has so much practical information and the author puts it all into clear terms. My daughter and I both understand what a diagnosis entails now and we know what to expect and ask for.
Overcoming Dyslexia [Posted on 2007-04-10]
This was a great help I have been reading everything I can get my hands on about Dyslexia and this bbok summed it up all in one book.
Good tips, but Depressing "outlook" [Posted on 2007-11-11]
I ordered this book after reading it at the library. I really enjoyed the easy to read format, and the tips for helping my son is what made me go ahead and order my own copy.
HOWEVER,my large complaint is this is a depressing book! It gives the negative "future" of dyslexic children as limited to careers that dont require higher education. It goes on to talk about most dyslexics are dropouts, unemployed or at dead end minimum wage jobs.
Obviously that is not true. While I'm sure many are, it is NOT the norm. Dyslexia does not limit possiblities. Yet, this book seems to focus on the negative rather that the positive that can happen with good intervention.
It's still a good book, just ignore the negative and remember that your child's future isn't limited by dyslexia.
A Great Resource Book [Posted on 2008-03-15]
Every Teacher should have this book. Dyslexia is so missed diagnosed-often students are told to try harder, pay attention more, stay focused more. They are already working harder than anyone. This book is full of great resources and information. A must have for parents of children with language-based disabilities which effects their reading and/or writing.
a missed opportunity [Posted on 2008-05-04]
As a professional in the field, I know the need for a book of this type. This book is a real disappointment. There are numerous factual errors and too much unwise advise. Save your money.
