An Informative and helpful resource for people who would like to effectively work with dyslexic children. I appreciated how it was broken out into guides for parents and teachers. I liked how this book focused on ways to boost self esteem for impacted kids.

Great overview of dyslexia with practical ideas for teachers and parents. Includes good resources and lists. Quick read due to list format which was nice. Read in a day.

Fine, but probably not the first book I’d recommend to a parent

أسهل و أريح الكتب التي قرأتها عن الدسلكسيا (عسر القراءة). أظن أن أحد أسباب ذلك أن الدراسات و الأبحاث عن الدسلكسيا الآن في مراحلها المبكرة.

يسر الكتاب يكمن في طريقة تقديم المعلومات. كل شيء فيه على شكل نقاط، مع وجود فقرات و فصول طبعا.

أظنه كتابا مفيدا لمن يود أن يبدأ في استكشاف هذه الصعوبة في التعلم.

This one is just okay for me. Though I think it really helps to line out some ideas of how to help your child, it is laid out in too many words that you have to dig through. I wish it had been more simplified.

This is a great resource for parents or general ed. teachers who have very little knowledge of dyslexia. I would HIGHLY recommend this to parents who have dyslexic students. A great resource although becoming slightly out dated with online resource recommendations.

Definately a checklist. Glad I bought it so I can use it as he makes his way through school. I think it is a good resource.
