Everything?
The word "everything" normally brings an air of doubt to my mind, especially when it comes to dyslexia. However, this book is as all inclusive as one could hope for. As a dyslexic parent with two dyslexic boys I found this book to be one I must highly recommend!
It is easy to read (big help to us dyslexics doing research for our children) and concise in a way that was refreshing for a book of this type. This book is full of latest information, some new to even me, but it also includes all the things it took me many years to learn the hard way.
My sons are out of high school now so I have traveled down many of the paths described in this book. I have read many dozens (that is a lot for me) of books on dyslexia related subjects and this is by far the best parenting book for dyslexic children I have found. It is a wonderful resource for those new to the subject as well as more seasoned parents like me! It truly is an "Everything" book!
Invaluable information
This is an invaluable resource for parents of children who have dyslexia. It is laid out so clearly and is so easy to read. You don't get lost in the wealth of information that it contains. It explains everything a parent needs to know to help their child through the maze of having special learning needs. I highly recommend this book!
A Must for Parents Who Suspect Their Child is Dyslexic
This book outlines valuable information that I have not found in other L.D. handbooks (such as the advantages of Omega 3 fish supplements in your child's diet), yet it's a quick read. If one is to buy only one book on L.D./dyslexia, buy this book.
