I am a school psychologist who is involved in the assessment of students with learning difficulties. In my experience, I have found many parents and teachers have misconceptions about what the term "dyslexia" really means. I found this book to be an excellent resource for parents and teachers in explaining dyslexia, and in recommending researched based strategies to help children with reading difficulties. The book is written in a way that is "parent friendly", yet it is not short on information. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to better understand dyslexia and feel empowered with strategies to help someone who is having a difficult time learning to read.

As a parent of a dyslexic child I spend years struggling to understand how to help my chlid. This book gave me the information I needed not only to understand what his needs are, but to be able to ask the right questions of teachers, administrators and tutors.
I cannot recommend this book hightly enough for anyone who thinks their child (or themself for that matter) might have a problem with reading. There are so many scams or quick fixes offered for parents to latch on to - this book cuts through all of that and provides answers that are clear direct and based on 27 years of documented research.
I particularly appreciate that it is easy to read and understand even with the depth of research and experience the author brings to the topic.

As a special education teacher, I have found this book to be invaluable. It not only helps to identify students who have reading problems, it explains why they have them, and what interventions are effective. It is also a fantastic resource for parents who may have a child with reading difficulties. It gives them the knowledge to be an advocate for their child, and gives them strategies to use at home. One of the great benefits is that the language is very understandable. I would recommend this to any parent or teacher who works with children who have reading problems, whether it by dyslexia or not.

I purchased this book at the suggestion of the person who assessed my son. I found it straightforward and accessible. The suggestions are research based and enable you to make use of recent developments. Highly recommended.
