USER REVIEWS

best resource to explain dyslexia
~ Written on Oct 10, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

This is a great resource for both parents and professionals in that it explains the nature of dyslexia in easy to understand terms based on neuropsychological research.

A wealth of information
~ Written on Sep 11, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

A wonderful resource both if you suspect dyslexia or if you already have a confirmed diagnosis. Tremendously helpful in understanding what dyslexia is and how to help your child or someone you love with this difference.

The foremost authority on the subject
~ Written on Sep 9, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

I starting reading several books on the subject of dyslexia to build a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by my son and to develop stategies to help him. Every book went back to quoting from the research of Dr. Sally Shaywitz. I decided to put the rest down and read the book based on her work. Though this book is not light reading for the average parent, it is information that every teacher should be familiar with.

overcoming dyslexia: a new and complete science-based
~ Written on Aug 18, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

the book is great but i can't believe text to speech is disabled with this particular book! how is someone who wants to learn how to improve their reading suppose to have access? that is one of te kindles redeeming features.

Helpful Scientific Basis
~ Written on Aug 7, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

A wonderful book whose basis on brain imaging confirms what many good reading teachers have known all along--teaching phonemes and using a multisensory approach is necessary. Her case studies were very encouraging, as were the examples of problems encountered and methods used with older students.
