Customer Reviews

This book does not address the essense of dyslexia only rules of reading
In just reviewing this book, the very first sentence of chapter one is troubling. It assumes that the child can recognize all the letters of the alphabet and their sounds.
The very essesnce of dyslexia is that children do not easily recognize letters (concept imagery) and/or they cannot distinquish the cooresponding sounds of each letter in isolation (phonemic awareness).
This book is NOT designed for dylsexics at all. It is designed to teach poeple to read.
It DOES have important rules that ALL readers need to learn in order to read properly but those rules cannot be applied until a dyslexic child had had intensive intervention to develop phonemic awareness and concpt imagey.
Parents who but this hoping to "cure" their dyslexic child will be very dissapointed.

Excellent Workbook
This workbook has been a life saver for me and my son. He is an 11yo boy with dyslexia. I have found this book to be extremely helpful. I appreciate the way it is laid out step by step. Each step building upon the last. Review is crucial for us and I give him plenty of that, using index cards and just reviewing the previous lessons. I highly recommend this workbook for a dyslexic student. Also by the same is author is a multiplication book for dyslexic/visual learners. That has also helped tremendously. Again I believe this book has provided me with the necessary tools to help my son. Thanks

Great resource for anyone teaching reading
A Workbook for Dyslexics is a great resource for people who are teaching reading. We teach reading to adults and find this invaluable as it has everything you need in one place. We also use it for teaching ESL and it is just as useful there.
